Compassion Road Academy

Compassion Road Academy is an alternative high school within the Denver Public Schools (DPS) system, specifically designed to support students who have struggled in traditional academic settings. Located on Cherokee Street, the school focuses on providing a personalized, supportive, and flexible educational environment for students who may have experienced academic gaps, personal challenges, or the need for a non-traditional path toward graduation. Its mission centers on meeting students where they are, offering a smaller classroom setting that fosters stronger teacher-student relationships and a community-oriented approach to learning.

Beyond core academics, Compassion Road Academy emphasizes social-emotional growth and holistic support to help students overcome barriers to success. By offering a different model of schooling, the academy aims to re-engage students who have become disengaged from the standard district system, providing them with the resources and guidance necessary to earn their diploma and prepare for life after high school. Its structure is tailored to address the unique needs of its student body, ensuring that each individual receives the attention and advocacy required to reach their personal and academic goals.
