Mackintosh Academy offers one of the Denver metro area's only private International Baccalaureate programs (preK-8). Founded in 1977, we are Colorado's first school dedicated to gifted and creative students. Our students experience an education focused on excellence within a nurturing, holistic environment that honors the hearts and minds of children.
We prepare students to thrive in a changing world. We focus on innovation, service learning, sustainability, and leading-edge educational approaches. Our students leave Mackintosh ready to take on challenges and make their mark, in high school and beyond. A Mackintosh education provides the foundation for lifelong learning and success.
Tucked into a quiet neighborhood, our campus features outdoor learning spaces, a greenhouse, instructional gardens, a meditation path, and ample room for both learning and play.
"Mackintosh Academy is a wonderful community of teachers, learners, and caring support. Our son attended from 3rd - 8th grades, and he is now applying to colleges and excelled in his high school and outside learning. He has no fear of new subjects, creating clubs and reading groups around the topics that interest him and his friends. He's more than ready for college, because Mackintosh helped support and inspire a lifelong love of learning. I highly recommend the school for gifted and twice-gifted students in primary and middle school years!" - Mackintosh Alum Parent
