Support Merit Academy’s $1,000,000 Growth & Excellence Initiative
In a time when too many schools lower expectations, Merit Academy is proving that students still rise to excellence when given a true classical education—one that forms intellect, character, and civic virtue.
In just six years we have grown from 267 to over 700 students while Colorado public enrollment has declined. Our students outperform state and national averages, we earn the state’s highest ratings, and we do it at $12,300 per pupil—far below the Colorado average—while keeping staff turnover half the state rate.
Your gift directly fuels the Growth & Excellence Initiative, allowing us to:
-
Preserve small class sizes amid rapid growth
-
Expand interventions for students with learning gaps
-
Strengthen our K–12 history sequence centered on America’s founding
-
Close the livable-wage gap for the teachers who make this excellence possible
-
Launch new academic, career, and athletic pathways
A transformational gift multiplies a proven classical model at the moment American education needs it most.
Join Merit Academy’s Order of Champions and help secure the future of this school of distinction.

Your Gift Shapes Generations
One child who learns to think clearly, speak with confidence, and stand with character can change a family. Ten such children can transform a classroom. Seven hundred can reshape a community.
And when that culture of excellence is secured for years to come, the impact multiplies far beyond any single graduating class.
At Merit Academy, your philanthropy does not simply fund a school—it multiplies a classical model that forms young men and women of intellect, virtue, and civic courage. Whether your gift reaches one student who finally discovers the power of rigorous learning, ten who find belonging and purpose, or the full community of more than 700 who will carry these habits into adulthood, the effect endures.
This is the rare opportunity to invest in something proven, disciplined, and lasting. Your partnership helps ensure that classical excellence does not remain fragile—it becomes the standard for the next generation.
The difference you make today will still be felt long after the current students have grown.
