School Notes
Mackintosh Academy Littleton 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

As the parent of two Mackintosh alumni, I couldn't be more thrilled with the education this school provided for my children. The small class sizes, innovative IB curriculum, and kind, dedicated teachers made my children's elementary and middle school years exceptionally. Both of my children were incredibly well-prepared for high school and went on to successful college careers as well. In recent years, the campus upgrades and staffing expansion have made this fantastic school even stronger!
