"Highline Academy has a notable reputation within the community and it serves as a prime example of how ingenuity and dedication can help improve educational outcomes."
Michael B. Hancock, Denver Mayor
"At Highline we have educators that don't believe in "I can't," "I don't know how," and "I'm not good enough" for themselves or for their students. We have educators that stay at work late or come in early. And we have many that are found in the building on a Saturday or Sunday just so they are fully prepared. I have seen educators at Highline give up their lunch times, day in and day out, in order to tutor, provide emotional guidance, enforce a consequence, or attend a parent meeting. Not one day goes by without multiple educators putting their students' needs first, not because they have to, but because they want what is best for all of our students. Highline teachers will do almost anything in order to help a child learn. " Tara Whalen, parent of 3 Highline graduates and current 5th grade teacher
"Diversity - celebrating it, embracing it and acknowledging it - is the cornerstone of the Highline Academy experience and that was very important to our family. We've appreciated the individual attention that our child has received and what has felt like a sincere effort to meet his unique needs and gifts. We've also appreciated seeing a genuine concern for cultivating his well being and academic, emotional and developmental success. If you want a one-size-fits-all educational experience for your child, this is NOT the place for you!" - Chandra Whitfield, Highline Academy Northeast parent since 2016
"What our daughter loves about Highline is that it is a very personalized environment for her. She has the ability to develop strong relationships with all of her teachers and the staff, and the diverse curriculum allows her to build skills and her knowledge base that will help her later in life." Drew Kent, Highline parent since 2015 and Board member
