Charter schools are free, open-enrollment, public schools that are given autonomy over curriculum, finances, and hiring in exchange for promising excellent results for kids. We are a charter school within Denver Public Schools.
Yes! We participate in School Choice through Denver Public Schools. Round 1 opens on Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 8:30a.
To participate in SchoolChoice, families submit one SchoolChoice application per student, on which they rank their top schools in order of preference, up to a limit of 12. DPS then uses a computer algorithm that matches students to schools based on those preferences, as well as school admission priorities and available space.

Yes. We believe that college preparation starts before birth, which is why we offer parent education classes on nutrition and early literacy. Academy 360 believes that every child should have the choice to attend a 4-year college, and will implement a rigorous curriculum, research-driven teaching practices, intensive professional development for staff, and data-driven interventions in order to prepare every child for success in school, college, and beyond.
Academy 360 is committed to developing the whole child mind, body, character. Healthy students learn better, so we see health and wellness as a key lever to propel students’ academic achievement. Check out our Health & Wellness page on this website!
