School Schedule and Calendar
Having spent much of our thought and energy on the big picture and vision, it is now exciting to begin nailing down how the minutes of a school day will be spent. With the overall philosophy of balance that cultivates hard-work and curiosity, the day is structured accordingly. Our schedule is intentional to form life-long habits for a faith-driven, productive life.
Daily Schedule
The daily schedule is designed so educators and students can focus on core subjects in the morning and co-curricular classes in the afternoon. We believe that this schedule promotes the healthy development of the whole child. They will be encouraged to push themselves to master their fundamental skills and take risks in their co-curricular classes. Parents can choose to send students to Colorado Christian Academy full-time or part-time depending on what is best for their family.
Early Morning Activity Option
In the mornings at 7:30 a.m. we will provide optional morning activities designed to create healthy habits for life. Students will participate in prayer, meditation, stretches, exercises, and chores. We hope to provide these free of charge through a donor who values this opportunity for our students.
Weekly Parent Gathering and Chapel
On Tuesday mornings, we will have weekly parent gatherings before Chapel. These are an opportunity to stay connected to the school and other parents. It will run from 7:45 a.m. - 8:20 a.m. During these gatherings there will be separate activities for the students. Chapel will start at 8:35 a.m.
Flexible Friday Schedule
Built into the rhythm of the school week is a non-traditional learning day that promotes deeper learning and student engagement. Each month will have a different theme that connects to the curriculum and Colorado Christian Academy Portrait of a Graduate Outcomes. Students will explore themes through excursions, experiential learning, and projects. Student work will be displayed at the annual Student Conference (Ted Talk Style).
Fridays will also include time for extended learning where students can be supported or challenged in their core subjects.
We are creating various options of programming based on the level of precautions we need to take this winter due to COVID-19.
Afternoon Activities
Students can participate in after school activities designed to create healthy habits for life. Students will dedicate time exploring or mastering a specific skill of interest or passion. There is a fee for afternoon activities. The daily fee is $16 per student with a max of $40 per family.
Clubs and Camps
This year we will be focusing on the academic school day, but we will provide clubs/camps throughout the year based on student interest. Clubs/camps will have unique fees based on the cost to run the program. Several students have already expressed interest in x-country so we plan to participate in the local Landsharks Running Club.
Tutoring
Tutoring will be offered before school, during school, after school, and on Fridays. The priority is that students are challenged and supported in their core subjects. In some cases it requires an additional small group or 1 on 1 setting in order to accomplish this. We have in-house tutoring through Colorado Christian Academy educators and Thrive Tutoring. There may be additional fees associated with tutoring.
