Testimonials
"At Golden View Classical Academy, we are well pleased to find a faculty that is serious about challenging academics, personal decorum, and a virtuous student body; a campus culture that is joyful and poised to inspire wonder and friendship in its members; and a curriculum that is rooted solidly in classical western thought which acknowledges that there is truth and that the human mind can ascent to understanding it. We have witnessed on many occasions, with all of our children, that their teachers are invested in genuinely knowing them, guiding them, and mentoring them in a friendship of the minds. We have also encountered other great kids from great families, who are being raised to be good, kind, mature, virtuous individuals, and whose families are likely drawn to our school for similar reasons to ours. We are so grateful that our children have these friendships. We are quite impressed with GVCA and so grateful to have access to it!"
- The Wheaton Family
"We donate to Golden View for a variety of reasons. We believe in and fully support the mission of the school, inclusive of the values instilled in the students and the academic curriculum. We hope our donations help not only our children, but all students and faculty members, and recognize that additional financial support is crucial to the near and long term success of the school."
- The Vedra Family
"Golden View Classical Academy is an investment in the next generation, a beacon of light illuminating our current abysmal public education landscape. This place teaches students how to think, to appreciate, to seek, and to defend, that which is good, beautiful and true. The passion for intellectual pursuit and civil discourse permeates each level of the school culture, from students and faculty to parents and staff. We enthusiastically throw our support behind GVCA."

Mission
Golden View Classical Academy was established to develop within its students the intellectual and personal habits and skills upon which responsible, independent and productive lives are built, in the firm belief that such lives are the basis of a free and just society. This is achieved by always working to train the minds and improve the hearts of young people through a classical, content-rich education in the liberal arts and sciences, with instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue in an orderly and disciplined environment.
Background Statement
We opened in 2015 as a K-10 Academy with 496 students coming from over 120 different schools. This was the largest starting enrollment for a charter school in the history of Jefferson County School District. In 2016, we expanded to 580 students and added 11th Grade. In 2017, we remained the largest charter school in Golden, CO, and became a K-12 Academy with over 630 students. In the spring of 2018, we graduated our first class of Seniors. We are looking to enroll 672 students in the 2018-2019 school year.
