“I was spending 30+ hours a week playing hockey and the teachers (at Destinations Career Academy of Colorado) understand the situation I am in, but they still hold me accountable.”

“CODCA is the best school! I went after being homeschooled for most of elementary and was scared I wouldn’t be able to make friends but I was wrong. Teachers, students, and admin were all wonderful. My counselor even helped when I fell off track to make sure I would graduate on time. These teachers truly care about their students and it shows.”
