Strong Academics. Strong Character. Extraordinary Opportunities.
Finding the right school means finding a place where your child can learn, grow, and discover what they’re capable of. At American Academy, we bring together challenging academics, engaging STEAM experiences, and character development in a welcoming school community.
We are a tuition-free K–8 public charter school with three campuses—Castle Pines, Lincoln Meadows, and Motsenbocker—sharing one commitment to helping students thrive.
Our enrollment lottery for the 2027–2028 school year is coming soon! Here’s what your family needs to know:
-
Apply by Friday, December 4, at 11:59 p.m. Submit your student’s application through SchoolMint to be included.
-
Previously applied? You must reapply each year. An application from a prior year does not carry forward.

The lottery takes place Monday, December 7. American Academy uses a random lottery with priorities outlined in our Enrollment Policy. Entering does not guarantee a seat.

Watch for an offer. Offers begin after the lottery results are verified. Families have 24 hours to accept or decline, so keep your contact information current and enable email and text notifications in SchoolMint.
