Exceptional Education

Supporting High-Quality Education for All

Although Colorado charter schools have made strides in closing achievement gaps for students of color and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, there remains significant room for improvement in meeting the needs of diverse learners. This may include implementing culturally responsive teaching practices, fostering a welcoming environment, and promoting equity in educational opportunities. We support member schools as they work to provide an exceptional education to the diverse learner populations within their classrooms. 

From special education to talented and gifted English language learners, every student deserves a high-quality education that meets them where they are. We not only partner with schools to increase support for these diverse learners but also act as an advocate to address the systemic and structural barriers that limit a school's ability to provide a high-quality education to every student who walks through their doors. By prioritizing the needs of diverse learners and embracing their individuality, charter schools can create an inclusive and supportive educational environment that maximizes each student's potential.
