AcademyACL is working on new ways to recognize graduates of our school, including a Grad Wall of photos in our new Legacy Hall, an alumni t-shirt, and an annual alumni social where we get to connect and hear about the awesome things you are doing now! We invite you to come and check out our new building, and if you're able to, join us for the alumni social following this year's 8th grade graduation from 7 - 8:30 pm on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. Please RSVP no later than May 19th, 2024 to [email protected].

We wish you all the best, and hope to stay in touch.

Hi AcademyACL Grads,

It's with a heavy heart that I share that Ms. Sherrie Beth Horn, one of our founding DV teachers, passed away Friday, January 19, from cancer. While she had not taught with us for several years, she will always be a member of our AcademyACL family and will be greatly missed by all of us. She was a champion of physics for all ages, always excited to work with colleagues to integrate the arts into science, engineering, and math, and was a wonderful mentor and friend.

We invite you to join with Sherrie Beth Horn's family and friends in Colorado Springs to celebrate her life on Sunday, January 28, from 3pm to 5pm, at Heart of the Springs Church in the main level sanctuary at 2726 North Union. The church will have other activities occurring in their basement at that time, so please come through the main doors facing the mountains, unless you need elevator assistance.

We will have a slideshow, and a chance for people to share memories, in a simple get-together. We have not planned for onsite food, so please feel free if you wish to make dinner plans with others following the time together. Please feel free to come in comfortable clothing, and/or clothing that would make Sherrie laugh (tiaras included!).

You're welcome to email photos to [email protected] by Friday afternoon (6pm) if you would like to include them in the slideshow. If you would like a virtual link to attend online, please send an email to [email protected] so that your email may be added to the invitation link and the link sent back to you.

If you would like to share this gathering with others who knew Ms. Horn, please do so using this link:

Best,
Ms. Brown

There are many ways to look at a school. These are one way, with "data"-- and we especially check out the work that colleagues in the Denver/Metro area with
'sister' schools in gifted education are doing. But another way is to schedule a tour, and see the multi-age classrooms and kids moving up into the highest levels of math and reading/writing that they need, regardless of age. Call our office for times in May to come and see our students and staff in action. Check out our videos on various social media sites, and see the variety of work that our kids do.
