$0 Goal

Caprock Academy is the Grand Valley's free public Classical school.  We are a Mesa County community grown public charter school serving kindergarten – 12th grade students in the Grand Valley.  At Caprock Academy, we endeavor to be good stewards of our school, our land, and our community.  Through community focused service projects and a student experience rooted in classical education, we promote our core values of academic excellence, character development, and personal accountability.  

Beginning in kindergarten, the Caprock Academy community rallies behind our goal to build ownership of academics and autonomy in each student.   Our students work hard for their success.  Caprock Academy high school students enjoy a 100% graduation rate.   It is in this ethic of strong character, personal accountability, and academic excellence that Caprock students are motivated and educated to be college of choice ready when they graduate from high school. 

Cultivating what matters for children to reach their highest academic and character potential is the foundation of Caprock Academy. If you believe our Grand Valley youth deserve a free school choice grounded in strong academics, equity, and fine personal character, we encourage you to support Caprock Academy.   

Mission

Our Caprock Academy Mission is to help all students achieve their highest academic and character potential using proven, accelerated academic programs while providing a safe environment.

Our vision is to strengthen the community through the involvement of parents, educators and community leaders working together to provide an environment that fosters academic excellence and develops strong character in our students. We shape global citizens who set life goals and practice lives of service and virtue.​

Background Statement

Caprock Academy is a K-12, Public Charter School that opened in 2007 in Grand Junction, Colorado by passionate and dedicated parents who knew they wanted a top-notch education and safe environment for their children. With unrelenting determination, their dream became a reality.

In 2007, a two-story residential house was the location for our administrative offices and six modular units were used for classrooms. We began with 280 students from Kindergarten through 7th grade, 19 teachers and educational assistants braving new territory with a classical school curriculum.

Today, Caprock Academy has expanded to include Kindergarten through 12th grade, and have proudly conferred 10 graduating classes. We serve over 900 students and employ over 130 employees. In 2020, we completed Phase II or our building project, adding 29 new classrooms, an auxiliary gym, and locker rooms to our main brick and mortar building.
