The New America School - Denver Campus now enrolls over 400 students each year in a location convenient for students in Adams and Denver counties, as well as other communities in metropolitan Denver. We have unique opportunities for young parents, former drop outs, and students working full-time to earn high school credits and a diploma.

The school opened in 2005 and moved to the present location for the 2009-2010 school year. To serve the students enrolled at the school, Principal Mike Epke works with an Assistant Principal, 14 teachers, 2 guidance counselors, a Dropout Interventionist, and a strong support staff.

All of Denver's teachers are highly qualified and have been trained in the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model to facilitate high quality instruction for English language learners in content area teaching.

In addition to the core academic subjects of science, math, language arts, and social studies, other class offerings include art, physical education, foreign language, technology, and even more electives. Sports for both boys and girls include soccer and basketball through the school and the students' voice can be heard through an active student government.

The Denver campus assesses students on their English Language Acquisition, as well as their educational background and experiences, and strives to place students in classes at the appropriate language and academic level. We realize that English language learners grasp the language at different rates, and therefore our school's mission is to provide an individualized education for our students. At the Denver campus, we offer a variety of ELA classes ranging from one hour to four hours, depending on the student's English level. Most importantly, Denver's caring, committed faculty and staff help students create possibilities for future success.

Denver offers a full schedule of classes day and night. The campus is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00am - 10:00pm. No classes on Friday. Classes are available for full and part-time students.
