About Academy Of Charter Schools

Located in Westminster, Colorado, The Academy of Charter Schools (TACS) serves students K-12 with strong community and inclusive Christian fundamentals. In addition to modest curricular and extracurricular offerings, TACS has an impressive 16:1 student-teacher ratio. Thus, children can be nurtured academically and personally in a low-stress environment where the demand for excellence is paramount. Although the local, recent test scores in math and reading are lower than the state averages, parents contend, over and over, that the staff really cares, it’s a safe environment, and there is a good sense of community spirit. The reality of alumni success reflects the school's longer-term impact. Hence, parents wanting an environment where their children are being nurtured academically and personally generally consider TACS among the best elementary schools in Colorado.
