Connect With Our Aspen Academy Parent Community

We understand that choosing the right school for your child can be both exciting and challenging, and it's natural to have many questions along the way. At Aspen Academy, we believe one of the best ways to learn about our school is by connecting directly with parents who are already part of our vibrant community! Meet some of our families who are eager to share their lived experiences, offer insights into daily life at Aspen, and answer any questions you may have. Whether you're curious about our programs, community spirit, or parent involvement, they are excited to connect with you!

How can I connect with a current Aspen Academy family?

Aspen Academy connects prospective families with current parents through our Parent Ambassador program to provide first-hand insights into our community. This program allows you to have honest conversations about how our Preschool-8th Grade model impacts every kiddo’s academic and leadership growth.

Why should I talk to an Aspen Academy parent?

Hearing from a parent who already has kiddos in the building is the best way to understand our "All In" culture. Our parents can explain how our leadership and financial literacy programs work in the real world. They provide the proof you need to ensure this is the right investment for your human being's future.

  • Real Results: Ask how their learner is doing with the 80-minute core class blocks.
  • True Community: Learn about the 32-hour annual volunteer requirement and how it builds a tight-knit environment.
  • Leadership Growth: Hear how their human beings are developing "durable skills" as early as age 4.

 

What kind of questions should I ask a Parent Ambassador?

We encourage you to get past the surface and ask the hard questions about the daily experience of our human beings. Because 80% of our parents are entrepreneurs or executives, they value facts and return on investment just like you do.

Topic Example Question for Parents
Leadership What is your student's favorite part of the LiFE program?
Academics Do you feel like your child is supported in their individual learning?
Are they challenged? Do you feel like they are seen? Are they engaged in their learning?
Community What is the most meaningful part of the Aspen community for you?
Outcome How do you feel the school is preparing your child for high school?
How is the school supporting you in character building for your child?

How do I start a conversation with a family?

To match you with the right family, please share a few details about your own kiddos and what matters most to your family. Our admissions team will then pair you with a Parent Ambassador who has kiddos in similar grade levels or shares your specific interests.

  1. Submit Your Request: Fill out the contact form below, depending on the parent you'd like to meet.
  2. Get Introduced: We will connect you with the parent who can speak to the Preschool-8th Grade journey.
  3. Connect: You can choose to have a quick phone call or meet for coffee to get your questions answered.

Who are the families at Aspen Academy?

Our community is made up of families from 45+ zip codes across the Denver area who prioritize academic excellence and character. Whether you identify with the business-minded or community-focused, you will find a network of peers here. We are a school where parents are directly involved in the education process, ensuring no human being is left behind.

Our child has thrived at the drama and music programs at school, where having a full theater is an amazing asset. She also loves art, gymnastics, hiking, biking, and cross-country running. She has built a great network of friends with dynamic interests and perspectives from around the country and world by attending Aspen Academy.

About Me

I work an an environmental non-profit and my husband is an architect. Our daughter has attended Aspen Academy for 6 years. We all love it. The school strongly promotes kindness and the tools for academic success. The focus on public speaking, financial literacy, and contributing to society are important life skills we don't see emphasized as much at other schools. We have been impressed by the depth of teacher experience, including for theater, music, STEM, art, and Spanish.
