Monument Academy, a "Public School of Choice," is a Charter School located Monument, Colorado, and is the only charter school in Lewis Palmer District 38. In 1995, a group of parents came together believing that they could create a school where high academic standards, small class sizes, and respect and responsibility are valued and emphasized. Lewis-Palmer Charter Academy (renamed Monument Academy in 2000) was founded in 1996.
The first year opening enrollment was approximately 180 students. We have steadily grown since 1996 to the 2007-2008 school year, offering classes to Kindergarten through 8th Grade students. We are continuing to carry the torch of a rigorous academic curriculum with small class sizes in a caring community environment.
Since Monument Academy's founding, we have remained true to our mission and vision by effectively educating students in a caring atmosphere that includes high standards and expectations. Our test scores have remained high even though as a charter school we operate on less funding than other public schools.
As a charter school we are a publicly funded, tuition-free school created by parents, teachers, and community members for the purpose of creating a distinctive school. We are required to meet or exceed district and state academic standards, as well as abide by all state and federal non-discrimination, health and safety laws.
