Cherry Creek Charter Academy

This school has serious bullying problems over the past years. A number of students ended up transferring out of the school mainly due to being bullied. With the increasing public awareness of the bullying consequences, it is disheartening that the school is still dealing with it ineffectively.

We have 2 boys at CCA, currently in 3rd and 1st grade. The kindergarten team is exceptional with special kudos to the half day teacher. Students come from all over CCSD and there is a surprising amount of diversity. Parental involvement is required by giving 40/20 hrs per school year in many different capacities. Teachers will provide tutoring during the school year and the summer for students who are struggling. Both my husband and I are teachers with a combined 20+ years of experience and we know our children are receiving an exceptional education at CCA. If you are looking for a private school setting with a public school price tag CCA is it.

We are very pleased with the education our second grader is receiving. Each one of her teachers have challenged her and have demonstrated their passion for teaching. Our daughter loves this school.

I am currently in the seventh grade at CCA and have been attending here since first grade. It's a very small school, but the curriculum is amazing and I love it! The enviroment is great and I have made many close friends. I know I won't have to worry about highschool at all because of how prepared everyone is by then! I played basketball and soccer and learned so much and had such a blast! Plus, I love my coaches! Overall, CCA is AWESOME!

I graduated from 8th grade this year after being there since first grade. CCA is academically a very good school,but I would reccomend leaving after you complete fifth grade there. It depends on what type of student you are. CCA gets you ahead for high school and makes sure you will start out in programs such as IB or AP/Honor,but the Middle School was treated as little kids. There is little independence such as forming lines to go to lunch and planner checks. Also, if you are looking for a school with a big social scene, CCA is not it. The classes are small and if you stay there starting in kindergarten or first grade you spend eight or nine years with the same people. There isn't that much diversity either and the babying doesn't prepare you for High School. Education wise, CCA is top of the line!

The teachers are very enthusiastic and energetic. The curriculum is up to date and outstanding.

Academically, CCA is a wonderful school. They care about their students and teach them to respect each other and the faculty.

Cherry Creek Academy is an outstanding school. I love the Core Knowledge curriculum providing my child with a top-notch K-8 education that will prepare her well for high school and beyond. I am proud that my child attends Cherry Creek Academy.

Our family has attended CCA for the past 7 years now. We have 3 children who have attended this school and just love it. Our oldest is in High School and is thriving due to the great curriculm and discipline received at CCA. If you do what you are suppose to you will find your child a year or even two years ahead of thier peers. It's amazing to hear the numerous topics your children can speak intelligently about. The parent involvement is awesome. You feel as if you are a part of a real community. There are many great families working together for one purpose. Anyone who talks negatively about CCA jus missed the point, or obvoiusly it was just not a good fit! This school rocks! Just take a tour and see the diffference from the other CCSD schools.
