Colorado Timberline Academy best serves and is dedicated to helping:

 
  • Creative, highly capable and non-conforming students who “march to the beat of a different drummer.”

  • Students who thrive participating in outdoor experiences unique to our Colorado mountain setting which are built into our curriculum.

  • Students who respond to an intimate, family atmosphere with small classes and meaningful relationships with teachers and peers.

  • Students who could find greater motivation from a non-traditional program.

  • Families who need the flexibility of our block system and rolling admissions to make a change mid-stream through the year.

  • Students whose academic progress has been interrupted and need to get back on track.

  • Students looking for a supportive environment due to family and social difficulties but whose needs do not require a therapeutic program.

  • Students who would benefit from more individualized attention and daily structure.

  • Families whose careers have made it difficult for their children to have a “home-base.”

  • International students who would thrive in a smaller community in order to immerse themselves in American culture.
