The Vision

We will create an academic home for advanced and creative learning, cultivate personal and standards-based excellence and leadership ability, and serve as a resource center for the gifted community of the Pikes Peak Region.

The Mission

Our students and staff will investigate ideas and master advanced content, reflect upon their own progress, explore connections between disciplines, and lead others in positive ways to new heights in achievement and service to the gifted community of the Pikes Peak Region.

To accomplish our mission and establish our vision, we strive to meet and exceed Colorado’s content standards and gifted education guidelines, provide supportive and challenging personal learning goals, implement best practices using the Integrated Curriculum Model, encourage the whole child with AcademyACL LifeSkills™ curriculum and family partnerships, support a highly trained professional staff, and serve the Pikes Peak community as a resource center for unique learning needs.

AcademyACL’s philosophy statement recognizes the relationship that our children, teachers, families, curriculum, school and community each maintain in our success. The entire statement is available from the school office on request.
