Colorado Academy is a unique place a place where learning is at the center each and every day for teachers and students alike. CA teachers are given the freedom to do what they do best teach . There is ample room for innovation and creativity in the classroom, and small class sizes allow teachers to know their students. Teachers are given responsibility to construct environments they believe to be most conducive to learning. They are inspired in this mission by a student body from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade that is able, willing, and enthusiastic.
Teachers have an average of sixteen years of experience and more than half hold graduate degrees.
Faculty can take advantage of professional development opportunities and graduate studies locally or nationally. CA faculty keep life-long learning at the core of their vocation. Teaching at CA involves being part of the community a vibrant and welcoming place. Many teachers also coach, and teachers of grades five through twelve lead students in experiential education programs each spring. As in most independent schools, extra effort by teachers is expected, and that is what makes it so worthwhile, as one CA teacher observes.
