Dear Community
Dear Denver Academy Community,
We are so pleased in this Annual Report to share the many successes of our students and Denver Academy, and thank you for your support of our fine school. Because of your generosity, nearly 400 students attended and benefitted from the student-centered culture of achievement and individual expression that is DA. On campus we come together as one, with our focus on being a center of excellence for the education of students with learning differences. As such, our school community embraces the uniqueness of each student, celebrates the many ways that each is brilliant and provides programs that support high levels of achievement. Our faculty and staff create experiences for our students unlike those found in traditional school cultures. Because of the support of our many benefactors, DA has risen to be among the vanguard institutions nationally embracing students with learning differences. We continue to serve the greater educational community as partners through professional development and by our innovative example. Denver Academy is now in the second year of our iPad program, third year of our unified high school model and soon will open our newly renovated arts and technology building. Your generous support funds our continued excellence and innovation on campus and in particular for each student. It is in the compilation of many small things and many fine people that DA is defined. Our donors, Denver Academy Parents Association, Boosters, Board of Trustees, Alumni, Faculty and Staff and especially our students all make DA what it is, a school as schools should be. We are Denver Academy. Thank you again for your support for DA and for making a difference in the lives of our students. Best Wishes,
[ Kevin M. Smith ] Headmaster and CEO
