DCSD Fee Assistance

American Academy families are invited to apply for DCSD Fee Assistance through DCSD Nutrition Services application process.

The continued funding of Colorado’s “Healthy School Meals for All” program means that the above income eligibility form you submit primarily serves as a tool for evaluating financial need—but it also qualifies your student(s) for added support at American Academy.

American Academy Assistance

American Academy provides additional limited assistance to American Academy families who qualify for DCSD Fee Assistance (see above). In order to qualify for American Academy Assistance, please email or bring in a copy of your DCSD confirmation letter to the Business Services Assistant at your campus (see below). Your status will be kept absolutely confidential and given ONLY to those who administer family assistance at the school.

If your family qualifies, you will receive the following Free/Reduced benefits through American Academy:

School registration fees will be waived or reduced.
Day or local field trips will be offered at a Free/Reduced rate.
Note: This does not apply to Stone Canyon trips, STEM trips, or out-of-town field trips (including—but not limited to—Boston/Washington DC, Catalina Island, Mount Olympus, or Costa Rica).
Optional tuition-based programs, such as extracurricular activities and athletics, are not eligible for Free/Reduced support.
