Our Mission

Spiral Academy is dedicated to serving the  needs of home school families, primarily in Colorado, who desire the benefits of private school enrollment and minimal oversight over their educational activities by their local school districts.

Our sole intent is to lend support for academic excellence that is always conducted in the spirit of religious and cultural tolerance.  All students and their families are expected to participate in that philosophy as well.

Religious and political beliefs are NOT part of Spiral Academy’s identity or purpose.  Our students are an eclectic mix of religious beliefs, political affiliation, and cultural diversity. 

Students and families are free to educate according to any curriculum or methodology provided they meet the minimum requirements for the state in which they reside. You use only those Spiral Academy services you desire or require.  We can assist in choosing a program that fits your family's needs.

We at Spiral Academy embrace the diversity of our world and hope you do too.
