Academics

Aspen’s leadership-focused curriculum challenges students to think critically, solve problems, and develop a lifelong love of learning. From early literacy to high school electives, each lesson builds confidence and prepares students for the next step in their journey.

Arts

Creative expression is a vital part of the Aspen experience. As students are painting, sculpting, designing yearbooks, and exploring new artistic techniques, they are developing their talents while learning to see the world in new ways.
