Aspen Academy is an independent day school in Greenwood Village, on the southern edge of Denver, Colorado, for children from age two through Grade 8. It was founded in 2005 by a group of mothers, including Kristina Scala and Lynda Sailor, opening with 100 pupils in temporary premises in Littleton before buying its present campus in 2008. Today it enrols more than 400 students on a site of almost ten acres next to Curtis Park, with an 80,000-square-foot main building for Kindergarten to Grade 8 and, since 2025, a separate Early Learning Campus for ages two to five one block away. The school's signature is its LiFE programme of leadership, finance and entrepreneurship, which starts at age four and leads to student-run businesses and an 8th-grade business plan mentored by professionals. Core subjects are taught in long daily blocks by subject specialists from Kindergarten, with K-8 classes of 16 to 18 pupils, and a daily Essentials rotation covers Spanish, the arts, coding and physical education. Aspen Academy is accredited by Cognia and the Association of Colorado Independent Schools and is a member of NAIS. It also guides families through applications to selective high schools.
