Platte River Academy

About Platte River Academy

Platte River Academy (PRA), located in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, has been a cornerstone of educational excellence since its inception in 1997. Initially welcoming 250 students in grades K-6, the academy has grown to serve nearly 500 students in grades K-8, reflecting its commitment to fostering a nurturing and stimulating learning environment. The success of Platte River Academy can be attributed to three key pillars: an exceptional staff, involved parents, and dedicated students.

The talented educators at PRA are the heart of the school, with a diverse Platte River Academy teachers list that showcases their expertise and passion for teaching. From instructional aides who go above and beyond to support students, to teachers who dedicate countless hours to inspire and nurture young minds, the staff is committed to meeting the unique needs of every student. The facilities manager ensures a safe and welcoming environment, while the conscientious office staff and administration work tirelessly to keep operations running smoothly.

Parental involvement is another vital component of PRA’s success. Last year, parents volunteered over 19,000 hours, contributing to essential tasks that often go unnoticed but are crucial for the school’s daily operations. Whether it's managing carpool duties in inclement weather, assisting with hot lunch services, or helping maintain the cleanliness of the gym, parents play an integral role in the school community. The PRA Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) further exemplifies this commitment, providing opportunities for parents to engage and support both students and staff. Together, these elements create a vibrant and thriving educational atmosphere at Platte River Academy, where students are encouraged to excel academically and socially.
