Colorado Academy is an independent nonsectarian, co-educational, college preparatory day school for students from Pre-Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade.

The school's 94-acre (380,000 m2) campus is located in Lakewood, Colorado, and serves approximately 1000 students.

Under the leadership of F. Charles Froelicher, Colorado Academy emerged as a college preparatory school for boys.

Known as the Kirk estate, it was the country home of Jesse Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.

The campus has buildings for each division, including a state-of-the-art upper school that opened in January 2013, that features an innovation laboratory, expanded science labs and classrooms.
