A MESSAGE FROM:
The Classical Academy Charter
2025-2026
The Classical Academy (TCA) is the largest brick and mortar K-12th grade charter school in Colorado. Launched in 1997 with 400 students, TCA currently enrolls approximately 3,600 students on three campuses in seven schools with one vision. TCA alone is larger than 75% of the public-school districts in Colorado. TCA?s demographics reflect the demographics of northern El Paso County where it is located. Since its inception, TCA has embraced a philosophy that guides all instruction - and it has com…
e to be known as TCA?s Educational Philosophy. Selected aspects of Classical Education, the Socratic Method, the writings of turn-of-the-century British educator, Charlotte Mason, form the basis for this philosophy. Over the last decade and particularly in recent years, it has become apparent through everyday application that these three strands of thinking intertwine beautifully providing student with a highly effective K-12 experience. TCA?s Educational Philosophy is elegantly divided into 4 ''big ideas'' that clearly demonstrate our approach to education. TCA is: · Whole Person Focused ? The TCA community will endeavor to foster and nurture a warm learning environment for students in which students will learn healthy habits of mind, body, and spirit formed thoughtfully and responsibly. · Relationship Based ? Teachers masterfully facilitate and support healthy, beneficial relationships allowing students to acquire authentic character. While interpersonal relationships are critical, it is also important for students to develop relationships with subject matter, as well as the world around them. · Classically Oriented ? Teachers masterfully guide learning through questioning based on appropriate developmental stages of learning. Students are inspired toward a lifelong pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness. · Idea Centered ? Teachers recognize that inspirational ideas and truth are the real food for the student?s mind. Living books, original source documents, musical pieces, artwork, and nature itself provide these inspirational ideas. These ideas, when fully embraced, provide an exceptional educational experience that is in alignment with and fully supports TCA?s Mission Statement: The Classical Academy exists to assist parents in their mission to develop exemplary citizens equipped with analytical thinking skills, virtuous character, and a passion for learning, all built upon a solid foundation of knowledge.
