Eagle Academy Application Packet
This application packet is meant to be completed by the STUDENT who is applying to Eagle Academy, not the parent or guardian.
Eagle Academy is designated an Alternative Education Campus (AEC) by the Colorado Department of Education. This designation means 95% or more of our students fall into at least one of the at-risk categories identified by Colorado Statute (SB 09-163). Questions in this application help determine if a student qualifies in one or more of these categories and if they are a good fit to join the Eagle Academy community.

Application Process
Eagle Academy accepts new students each quarter on a first come first served basis until 150 student slots are filled.
Students wanting to be placed on the waiting list to attend Eagle Academy must complete and submit the online Eagle Application and have the online Counselor Recommendation completed on their behalf.
If the applicant is on and IEP (Individual Learning Plan), the parent or guardian needs to send a copy of it to our office as soon as possible for review.
Once a completed Student Application and Counselor Recommendation are received, they will be reviewed by Eagle Academy staff and your parent or guardian will be contacted about scheduling a one-on-one meeting with an administrator.
Accepted students and their parent/guardian are required to attend an orientation meeting before the quarter start, to further learn about Eagle and decide if it is the best place for the student.
