GRADUATE GIFT

The Graduate Gift is a cherished tradition gift of the Aspen Academy family since our founding that honors the legacy of each 8th grade graduating class. The Graduate Fund marks the milestone of graduation, the launch of entrepreneurial endeavors, the matriculation to high school and the welcoming of a new class of Aspen Academy Alumni who will pass on the generosity that supported them to future classes.

So that each class can enjoy their gift to the school during their 8th grade year, the current 7th grade class begins their journey in January to select, design, and fund their Graduate Gift.

"I just want to say a big thank you for having our son as a student at your wonderful school. He just graduated from 8th grade and we have been amazed by his growth over the past few years. It was a big financial leap for us to send him to Aspen Academy but it turned out to be worth every penny. He has thrived both academically and socially and is well prepared for his future adventures in life. Graduation was very emotional for us.  It doesn't seem likely that he'll ever have another experience like this in his life." - Class of 2023 Parent
