ABOUT EAST HILLS ACADEMY

We believe that children flourish when they grow in character and engage in a rich and beautiful liberal arts curriculum. We believe that all children can achieve high standards with the right community and support. We believe that this education should be available to all children, yet barriers still exist for many families. Despite many obstacles, the founder of East Hills Academy attended such a school as a child and is opening East Hills to make this education available to more children.
East Hills Academy is a new classical charter school that provides free bussing, a family-friendly calendar and schedule, before and after school programming, and summer programming in order to increase access for families with scheduling or transportation barriers. East Hills will open in August 2026 with 100 students in K-1 or K-2 and expand one grade per year through 8th grade.
We are looking for someone up to the challenge of creating something new in Colorado Springs and wading into uncharted territory, someone who can join other hard-working, supportive, no-drama teammates who wear multiple hats and go the extra mile for all students, someone who believes that education is just as much about character as it is about knowledge.
“Far and away, the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” - Theodore Roosevelt
