We are a public school of choice in the St. Vrain Valley School District, conveniently located in Longmont, Colorado. We are governed by engaged and passionate parents and community members, and are the longest operating charter school in the SVVSD. We are the only classical school in Longmont, offering a unique alternative and choice for families. A classical education is based on the timeless value of creating critical thinkers who seek truth, beauty and goodness, while acquiring foundational skills and knowledge, in a teacher-led classroom that lays the foundation for advanced study. The heart of a classical school is a comprehensive Latin mastery program, beginning in kindergarten. A classical school explicitly teaches character and values through the study of great works of literature. Core Knowledge provides our elementary and middle school’s foundational curriculum that supports our ideals. We are the only PK-12 school in the district creating a special sense of community.
A classical education emphasizes the true, the good and the beautiful. We look to the past to inform our choices for the future. Great character is emphasized through the study of great books and primary documents and the Academy’s relentless focus on it as a valuable trait. As Thoreau stated, “You cannot dream yourself into character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.”
Twin Peaks Classical Academy provides an academically rigorous environment that encourages students to seek truth, beauty, and goodness in both their acquisition of knowledge and their development of character. This classical education is provided to any PK-12 student and family seeking a well-rounded education that prepares all students for the opportunity for acceptance into a four year university.
Twin Peaks was founded in 1997 as a K - 8th grade school. In the subsequent years, Twin Peaks has grown into an exceptional educational environment which values developing the whole child from Pre-K to 12th Grade. TPCA is dedicated to a content rich curriculum that builds cultural literacy. Twin Peaks has grown from a small K - 8th grade school, into a vibrant campus of more than 850 students and over 100 staff members, all of whom are proud to call themselves Twin Peaks Classical Academy Timberwolves!
