Pre-K students must be 4 before September 1, 2023 and Kindergarten students must be 5 by September 1, 2023 to apply.

For Pre-K and Kindergarten admissions, we follow the September 1st date as a guide. Applicants within the cutoff date may be considered after review by the admissions committee.

Parents are both positive and productive partners in the Aspen Academy experience. You will have the opportunity to share your time, talents and expertise in a myriad of ways that can be found in our Parent Volunteer Portal.

Qualified siblings will be considered first in admissions decisions for the next school year.

There are plenty of opportunities to visit Aspen Academy. We offer informational tours on specific dates and times throughout the year and also host a wide range of community events that are open to the public.

Schedule a Visit

Our goal for visits is to give students a sense of what distinguishes us in the classroom as well as outside of it. Our teachers will encourage participation in and outside of the classroom. During the visit day, students will be paired with a student ambassador. Visitors will attend core academic classes as well as essentials classes to get a realistic experience of what it is like to be a student at Aspen Academy.

Learn About Applying

Making a commitment to your child's foundation in education is admirable and exciting. This page shares numbers, yet the work we do is with humans. We'd love to have a conversation about you and your needs, and how we might be a great fit for your family. 

At Aspen Academy, in addition to our commitments to next-generation education, leadership and entrepreneurial development, and community strength and service, we are committed to creating a community we love being around. Our families come from over 45 zip codes around the Denver-area, and represent different needs. For some families, we’re pleased to offer financial aid in support of their being at Aspen Academy.
