Test scores are certainly not everything and we don't "teach to the test" at AAK, but they do provide a benchmark on how AAK students are doing as compared to their peers. And that data shows that AAK's program works. By focusing on your child as an individual first and a student second, AAK lays the foundation for a lifetime of learning. AAK is a Performance with Distinction School -- the highest academic rating available to schools in Colorado. This means our students are learning and growing. They’re reaching and even surpassing what they should know and be able to do at key points in their academic careers. And we make sure all of our students see the same high level of achievement across the board. Equity is a major focus at AAK. We work hard to ensure all children get the education and support that they need and deserve. We are dedicated and passionate educators. We know that every child comes to school with a different set of skills and interests, with different cultural aspects, different socioeconomic backgrounds, different gifts, and challenges. No matter what your child's educational starting point is, we are here to help your child reach goals like peers who have had fewer challenges. No one's past has to predict their future.
