Monument Academy, a "Public School of Choice", is a Charter School located Monument, Colorado and is the only charter school in Lewis Palmer District 38. In 1995, a group of parents came together believing that they could create a school where high academic standards, small class sizes, and respect and responsibility are valued and emphasized. Lewis-Palmer Charter Academy (renamed Monument Academy in 2000) was founded in 1996.
The first year opening enrollment was approximately 180 students. MA has steadily grown since 1996 to the 2005-2006 school year enrollment of over 600 students and offering classes to Kindergarten through 12th Grade students. The school continues to carry the torch of a rigorous academic curriculum with small class sizes in a caring community environment.
Since Monument Academy's founding, they have remained true to their mission and vision by effectively educating students in a caring atmosphere that includes high standards and expectations. Their test scores have remained high even though as a charter school they operate on less funding than other public schools.
As a charter school they are a publicly funded, tuition-free school created by parents, teachers, and community members for the purpose of creating a distinctive school. MA is required to meet or exceed district and state academic standards, as well as abide by all state and federal non-discrimination, health and safety laws.
