Lincoln Academy began in 1997 as a K-6th Core Knowledge Charter School located in Arvada, Colorado. Lincoln later added 7th-8th grades along with PreK. We instruct more than 700 students in whole-group instruction classrooms. Our goal is to provide excellence in academics using the Core Knowledge Sequence and curriculum. Our specials program integrates the Core Knowledge curriculum to support the grade-level classroom. We also offer a variety of specials for elementary and electives for middle school, including art, physical education, technology, library, and music. In addition to academics, we aim to educate students in our Core Values of leadership, acts of kindness, preparedness, respect, integrity, determination, and excellence. We use Love and Logic for discipline when necessary.
Lincoln Academy is a choice enrollment school. We are proud that Lincoln families are involved with and passionate about their children's education. We have a Parent-Teacher Organization and parent-run school board providing governance to the school. Families are encouraged to volunteer at least 20 hours of their time each school year, with many families choosing to give several more hours. Frequent interaction between parents and staff forms a close-knit team that provides an outstanding education in a caring environment.
