Mission
The mission of Morgridge Academy is to provide an environment that nurtures the individual medical, educational, emotional, and physical needs of children who have been diagnosed with chronic illness. Rigorous, innovative and authentic experiences help us achieve that goal.
The Morgridge Academy Vision
is that our staff and students will work together to:
- Solve meaningful problems through collaboration and innovation
- Create products to share with family and community
- Be responsible, self-directed, and curious learners
- Advocate for themselves and others
The staff at Morgridge Academy is committed to providing a unique environment that nurtures the individual medical, physical, emotional and educational needs of the child. We provide a short-term placement where students and parents learn to manage the child’s chronic illness. Upon meeting medical goals, Morgridge Academy staff helps students transition smoothly to their local school.
Experienced and Qualified Faculty
Classroom teachers at Morgridge Academy hold master's degrees in a variety of educational fields and are teacher certified by the state of Colorado. The majority of the teaching staff have extensive experience working with students who have asthma or other medical illnesses. The staff at Morgridge Academy believe that structure promotes security, which enables students to develop a positive, responsible attitude toward life and school.
Individual Academic Attention With CDE Approved Curriculum
Students enrolled in the Morgridge Academy follow an academic program augmented by arts and athletic offerings. The curriculum is designed to provide a broad-based education which emphasizes state standards while encouraging work for students in areas of special interest and competence. Small classes of 12 - 15 students encourage both group and individual learning experiences. Morgridge Academy is an accredited CDE Facility School and we follow state approved curriculum in order to make the transition back to public school easier for the student.
