Endeavor Academy

The mission at Endeavor Academy is to prepare students for post-secondary
transitions by re-engaging them in the learning process using traditional and
non-traditional instruction in an academically rigorous and personalized learning
environment. Endeavor Academy takes great pride in serving the Cherry Creek
School District as an alternative high school designed to meet the needs of
students at risk of not completing high school. Last spring Endeavor Academy was
approved by the Board of Education as the seventh high school in Cherry Creek.
Endeavor Academy formally applied to the Colorado Department of Education
for a special designation as an Alternative Education Campus. This designation
squarely places instructional focus on research-based strategies and interventions
designed specifically for students who have not succeeded in a traditional learning
environment. Endeavor Academy accommodates approximately 300 high school
students from all feeder areas in CCSD. Endeavor Academy celebrated its first
graduating class in December, 2015. Prior to this year, Endeavor Academy students
graduated as members of their home high schools.

Recommendation:
No additional facility needs FIVE-YEAR FACILTY PLAN
due to enrollment at this
time.
