About Us
Who We Are
We are an award-winning college prep school that balances academic rigor with a unique emphasis on the visual & performing arts. We believe that this educational approach nurtures both students’ intellectual and creative abilities and some potential benefits such as self-expression and communication, collaboration and teamwork, cultural appreciation and diversity.
Quantum Learning
We incorporate Quantum Learning in our classrooms which has resulted in amazing academic and artistic accomplishments of our students at CIVA. Quantum Learning is a brain-based research model, which improves students’ ability to learn and retain information based on neurological research.
Our History
Founded in 1997, CIVA Charter High School is authorized by Colorado Springs District 11. Over the years, CIVA has become one of the highest performing high schools in Colorado Springs District 11 and we have been voted Best of Colorado Springs several years in a row.
The small class sizes and safe atmosphere of CIVA high school for the arts provide a one-of-a-kind experience where students respect and care for one another.
Our Mission
CIVA Charter High School's mission is to develop young people of character who acquire three essential qualities of the educated individual:
-
CIVA students will become scholars who develop "habits of the mind" to include curiosity, thoughtfulness, critical awareness and imagination.
-
CIVA students will become citizens of the classroom and the larger society in which they display responsibility, dependability, care, commitment and other genuine "habits of the heart."
-
CIVA students will develop as artisans who learn to tap into their special gifts to create high-quality work that commands a deep involvement while giving meaning to their efforts through acquiring "habits of the soul.
Our Vision
Our vision is to inspire our students to discover their unique potential and to develop the necessary skills to be ready to excel in the collegiate setting.
