Foothills Academy

How to capture the essence of Foothills? A school that goes to the heart of learning, with real, hands-on participation in every subject area; a school where kids are truly, deeply respected and thus learn to respect their own perceptions and ways in the world; a school where kids cry at the end of the year in anticipation of three months away from their community; a school that presents an hour-long Shakespeare play in 3/4 grades that is perpetually named as a life-changing experience by the kids. I could go on and on, but my two kids are forever changed because of the nurturing, love, respect and skills they got at FA. Many years after the fact, they still talk about it as a peak childhood experience and my wife and I still congratulate each other on our decision to put our money toward the greatest gift we could give them.

Foothills maintains a rigorous academic program that is unique in the Denver area and provides a well-rounded education to prepare a child for ongoing learning both in classrooms and beyond. At Foothills my son has learned to read fluently, to think logically, to be inquisitive and engaged in his world, and to have confidence in his abilities and skills. Now he is ready to start second grade. I can t wait to see what is next for him and I can t imagine a school that would give him a better head start on the rest of his life.

We are returning to Foothills after a year spent elsewhere. Having experienced another school made us truly appreciate the advantages of a Foothills education. The Outings program is excellent and unique to Foothills. The inclusive culture in the classroom truly works here, and bullying is almost non-existant. The academics at FA are definitely more rigorous, and presented in a more individualized way that challenges children to think for themselves. Glad to be back!

I would just like to say that we feel Foothills Academy is the best place our children could possibly be. They have a very strong focus on developing critical thinking skills and learning skills as well as strong communication skills. They are very community oriented and create students who become great citizens to the world.
