About me: MISSION: The mission of Royal Gorge Academy is to develop in all students a lasting gratitude, respect, and appreciation for their families, themselves, and the world around them. We challenge students to value diversity and to become empowered global citizens through the Positive Peer Culture program. Students receive a unique educational opportunity in a safe environment where they gain a renewed perspective of who they are and what they can become. ___________________________________________________
ACADEMICS: Royal Gorge Academy is accredited through the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. The academic department offers a full-course curriculum in academic core subjects, as well as a number of electives, that ensure the well-rounded education of the complete student and enable the student to acquire a high school diploma. The Switched-On Schoolhouse computer program is the defined program of study for Royal Gorge Academy. The Switched-On Schoolhouse program for instruction and assessment supports and aligns with desired results for student learning required by the State of Colorado. Although most of the students’ curriculum and instruction at Royal Gorge Academy is computer-driven, we also have Colorado-licensed teachers and Masters-level educators. The instructors also design some assignments and special projects which are delivered in the traditional approach. The independent study system at Royal Gorge Academy is individualized to the needs of each student, to allow the student to accelerate his/her completion of courses. ___________________________________________________
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: Through Positive Peer Culture, your child will be empowered to help others on a daily basis, and will also be offered help from his/her peer group on general, as well as specific, problems with which he/she may be struggling. Within their peer groups, our students work closely with others to find solutions to their problems, and in doing so, learn to develop the skills and strength to help themselves and others throughout life.
