The New America School - Denver Campus annually enrolls over 500 students. The campus is conveniently located for students living in Adams and Denver counties and other nearby metropolitan Denver communities.

The school opened in 2005 and moved to its present location for the 2009-2010 school year. To serve the school's 500 students, Principal Rhett Parham works with an Assistant Principal, a Dean of Students, 18 teachers, two paraprofessionals, two guidance counselors, a social worker, and a strong office support staff.

All of Denver's teachers are highly qualified and have been trained in the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model. SIOP facilitates high quality content area instruction for English language learners.

In addition to the core academic subjects of science, math, language arts, and social studies, class offerings include art, physical education, foreign language, technology, and many other electives. Boys and girls have the opportunity to participate in sports such as soccer and basketball. Students' voices are heard through an active student government.

The Denver campus assesses students' English Language skills, as well as their educational background and experiences, and strives to place students in classes appropriate to their language and academic level. We realize that English language learners grasp the language at different rates, and therefore our school provides individualized education for our students. At the Denver campus, we offer a variety of English Language Acquisition classes ranging from one hour to four hours, depending on the student's English level. Most importantly, Denver's caring, committed faculty and staff help students create possibilities for future success.

Denver offers a full schedule of classes day and night. The campus is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00am - 10:00pm. No classes on Friday. Classes are available for full and part-time students.
