Our Mission
Accelerated Schools is dedicated to providing a supportive, highly individualized educational environment where students from diverse backgrounds can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe that no two students learn at the exact same pace or in the exact same way. By meeting students where they are, we help them overcome learning challenges, rebuild confidence, and achieve their full potential.
Who We Are
Located in Denver, Colorado, Accelerated Schools serves students in grades K–12 who need a non-traditional educational path. Whether a student is accelerated and needs advanced coursework, struggles with traditional learning environments, or requires a flexible schedule to pursue outside passions, our low student-to-teacher ratio (typically 7:1 or smaller) ensures every child receives the tailored attention they deserve.
Our accredited, private non-profit program emphasizes:
Customized Learning Plans: Tailored curricula that match each student's unique learning style, strengths, and pace.
Positive Reinforcement: A nurturing culture that prioritizes emotional well-being, growth mindset, and mutual respect.
Mastery-Based Education: Ensuring students truly understand core concepts before moving forward, eliminating knowledge gaps.
Why Your Support Matters
Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of providing specialized, small-group education to every family who needs it. Your tax-deductible gift directly impacts our ability to:
Provide Need-Based Scholarships: Ensure financial constraints never stand in the way of a child receiving a life-changing education.
Expand Learning Resources: Invest in updated classroom technology, specialized learning tools, and enrichment materials.
Enhance Student Support Services: Fund mentorship programs, college prep resources, and social-emotional learning initiatives.
When you give to Accelerated Schools through Colorado Gives, you aren't just supporting a school—you are investing in a child’s future and helping them discover their capability to succeed.

Our Program
Accelerated Schools is an independent, co-educational day school for students in middle school and high school. Our positive atmosphere guides students that have not thrived in a traditional school setting to achieve social and academic skills. Our comprehensive learning environment supports the success of students with learning differences such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety as well as gifted and talented students who need to be challenged.
Our Goal
Accelerated Schools exists to provide a unique, alternative, and rigorous approach to learning. Our goal is to produce highly skilled students that have a positive attitude toward themselves. We strive to give each student the tools to improve their overall academic skills, help them to have greater self-esteem, and be goal-oriented. We encourage and prepare them to be college-bound and have the confidence to move to the next level.
Our Vision
We have created a student-centered learning environment led by teachers who are adaptable lifelong learners since 1974. We understand that all students have a set of necessary skills to learn for their future, as well as unique needs and goals to accomplish. We tailor our program to each student in order to address both sides of this educational paradigm. With an average class size of nine students, each student is enrolled with an individualized success plan based on their needs, interests, and remaining graduation requirements. Our students receive no failing grades; if students are below grade level in any given subject, the teacher emphasizes the curriculum in that skill until they meet the mastery requirements for that subject. At Accelerated Schools, we offer high school and middle school classes with open enrollment; any student may begin classes any day, year-round. If you find that your child has been unsuccessful in the current school, we are able to help.
