Welcome to Platte River Academy

Welcome to the website for Platte River Academy (PRA), a K-8 Core Knowledge charter school located in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.  This year (2008-09) marks our 12th year in the business of providing a quality education for students in Douglas County. For the last 8 years PRA has been recognized by the State of Colorado as a John Irwin School of Excellence. These awards are only one outcome of the solid instructional program implemented by a professional faculty and staff in combination with the dedication of our parents to support their school.

This website provides lots of information to the general public, our staff, and the PRA parent community. It has been created and designed to provide you the information that we have heard is important to you. Please enjoy “discovering” what PRA is really about as you surf our site.

If you do not find the information that you need or want, please feel free to call the office or send us an email. We will certainly try our best to respond to your questions or direct you to someone who can answer them. Additionally, the general public is always invited to attend one of our prospective parent meetings to get face-to-face with Mr. Bob Barber, Assistant Principal, or me and receive a more personal picture of PRA.
