We are the first tuition-free, public charter school designed to serve learners who need extra support.
We believe all learners deserve access to effective education no matter their needs. Prospect Academy opened in August 2022 in Arvada, Colorado. We serve grades 4-8 and are incredibly excited to welcome all learners to our school!

Last week, our 8th graders cleaned up Grandview Avenue as part of our commitment to Adopt-a-Street program with City of Arvada Government. We had some neighbors come out and thank our students for giving back to the community. We finished our walk with a delicious ice cream from Scrumptious in Olde Town Arvada. 🗑🔃♻️

The chicks have hatched! 🐣
Ms. Bradshaw's science class have been observing and documenting our little friends early lives for 3 weeks and today, they became tiny, little walking birdies.
Our students love looking after animals, and linking science and empathy is a beautiful thang! 🥚🐤🐣🐥🐓
