Aspen Academy students are leaders! Whether it involves operating one of our on-campus businesses through Bear’s Enterprises – the school store, the vending machines, the café, or the broadcast network; participating in AMP’d (Aspen Morning Program), our Friday morning celebration of life at Aspen, participating in our Mentor/Mentee program, hosting visiting students through our Student Ambassador Program, or being an officer or member of our Student Civic Organization, Aspen students take pride in their school and it shows. The Aspen Youth Leadership Institute was founded by our Head of School, Kristina Scala and enables us to offer daily leadership classes that focus on the development of concepts and skills in personal effectiveness, intra and interpersonal awareness, character, leadership, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship.
