School Overview

Littleton Academy is a public charter school located in Littleton, Colorado, serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Founded on the principles of a "back-to-basics" academic approach, the school emphasizes a structured learning environment with a heavy focus on core subjects, including mathematics, science, literature, and history. The curriculum is intentionally designed to be rigorous and traditional, often utilizing direct instruction methods to ensure students build a strong foundational knowledge base before moving on to more complex concepts.

Beyond its academic core, Littleton Academy places a significant value on character development and parental involvement. The school community typically fosters a close-knit environment where families are expected to be active partners in their children's education. Because it is a charter school, it operates with a specific mission—often prioritizing high academic standards and a disciplined classroom atmosphere—that distinguishes it from traditional neighborhood public schools within the Littleton Public Schools district.
