Academics

Swallows Charter Academy follows a rigorous and an accelerated curriculum designed to give our students a comprehensive and well-rounded education. We follow the Core Knowledge curriculum with rich instruction in language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and fine arts. We also teach our students about their world through instruction in subjects such as technology, music, and drama. Our subjects are aligned to meet and exceed state standards, which are assessed annually through the Colorado Student Assessment Program.

Curriculum

The SCA curriculum strictly follows the Core Knowledge Sequence which is an outline of specific content taught in language arts, history, geography, mathematics, science, and fine arts. Content in each subject builds year by year. Middle school students also take elective courses such as technology, economics, music, discovery science, drama, and journalism. The curriculum is aligned with state content standards as established by the Colorado Department of Education.
