School Reviews

I am a certified teacher but now work as a sub at CIVA. Having now worked in 8 schools across Colorado over the years, I have NEVER experienced a school environment like CIVA. The students are polite, responsible, and real (and talented!); the staff is friendly and competent; and the admin work tenaciously for the students and their well-being, happily wearing multiple hats. I think it's CIVA''s welcoming, accepting nature of all by all that sets it apart the most. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found CIVA three school years ago and am extraordinarily grateful and excited every time I walk through its doors.

CIVA Charter High School feels like family! The school has small class sizes. Teachers and staff give individual attention to each student and kids feel safe to be themselves. There are a lot of opportunities for students to take part in the arts and it has a strong curriculum that prepares them for college. Thank you CIVA! I'd encourage you to contact CIVA and see if it's right for your child! www.civacharterschool.org
