Yes, all students at Skyline Academy have pre-determined educational disability and mental health concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, trauma or behavioral issues.  Common designations on IEPs include Serious Emotional Disability, Other Health Impairment or Specific Learning Disability.

We are unable to begin the Special Education Identification process and require an initial IEP to be done prior to placement. The IEP that comes with a student will be evaluated and updated as needed after initial admission and annually just as in the schools.

On average, students stay at Skyline for one calendar year.  We work closely with the home school district, caregivers, student and other professionals to ensure that when students return to their home school district they are set up for success.

Skyline Academy is considered a mental health and educational intervention and costs are typically covered through insurance carriers and the educational system.

No, while Skyline serves students from Denver, we also serve students from the surrounding school districts. Skyline Academy is a facility school.

Yes, we work closely with your home school district to make sure that all progress made is reflected in the student’s IEP. Students at Skyline Academy receive report cards and grades just like a typical school, and attendance is counted as in a typical school. A placement at Skyline allows a student to continue on their educational track, and they will advance in grades just like in a typical school. In cases of significant absences, the home school may always elect to retain a grade, but this communication will always be made clear by our staff long before a final decision is made.   

Our school is a private mental health facility and therefore we can not host tours on a regular basis.  However, if you are interested in services, provide your student’s IEP and one of our staff will contact you about your child’s needs. We then work with the school district to see if they support a separate school placement, and pending their level of support, we work with our families to set up a time to meet and learn more about each other.

If you are a school district interested in talking with us about placement options, please contact us to discuss our referral process and learn more about our services.
