"A focused effort among a team of teachers
who have ownership of the program
and are committed to the success of the students!"

The Academy is ...

• An intense course study for selected sophomores at Poudre High School
• A program that increases academic performance
• A program that creates strong connections among students, teachers and the PHS community
• A support team which assists students in their transitions through school

What makes the Academy a great learning experience?

• Interdisciplinary learning
• Small class sizes of 15 - 20 students
• More personal attention for the individual student
• Assigned teacher-mentors
• Field trips/special projects
• Assigned personal counselor
• Team-teaching
• Supportive parental involvement and partnership
• Close monitoring of attendance, behavior and grades

Who can join the Academy?

Because the Academy faculty and staff are committed to keeping our class sizes small, and because we want to limit our enrollment to those students who will benefit most from the Academy's personal attention and academic support, only students who are recommended by their counselors and teachers are invited to be a part of the Academy.

If a student/parent is interested, however, we welcome the interest. Please contact Joe Gawronski, Academy Counselor, at 416-6062.
