Welcome to a new year

Welcome back. This year we have some new classrooms, offices and the new multipurpose room We also have some new teachers joining us this year. Please see our August 12 Gazette to read a short biography of each of our new teachers.

In 1995, Cherry Creek Academy (CCA) became the first charter school in the Cherry Creek District. CCA focuses on higher academic achievement for students including rigorous curriculum, longer school day and year, phonics, uniforms, and expectations that each student will reach their full academic potential. Relying on the Core Knowledge Curriculum, students are taught specific knowledge of facts and relationships within the subjects of history, geography, science, art, literature, music, math, language arts, and computer skills. Actual knowledge combined with critical thinking skills enable students to think and function in our literate society. CCA values academic performance, strong parental involvement, parental governance, and a commitment to exceptional staff and administrators.

As a parent, you are supervising one of the most time-enduring decisions you’ll make for your child -- their education. In an educational environment increasingly based upon choice, charter schools have met a need for many parents who want to know they have more choices available to them other than the traditional public school in their neighborhood.
