We are proud to be part of a national network that nurtures the whole child and builds long-term relationships that fuel lifelong learning.

• In 2025, 53 percent of HCCA faculty, staff, and volunteers were HCCA alumni.

• 100% of the HCCA High School Class of 2025 has enrolled in college this fall.

An Important Part of the CA Community

Horizons at CA is deeply woven into the fabric of the Colorado Academy community. Upper School students serve as tutors, volunteers, and interns, while parents contribute expertise in areas ranging from fundraising to community engagement. CA supports HCCA with substantial in-kind resources, including office space, curriculum development, financial planning, and more. This meaningful outreach extends CA’s impact well beyond its campus, creating lasting, positive change in the greater Denver community.
