Charter school completed at North Park

BROOMFIELD – Prospect Ridge Academy, Broomfield’s sixth charter school, opened its 45,000-square-foot school building in North Park located at the northwest corner of Preble Creek Parkway and Sheridan Parkway next to the Anthem residential community.

North Park, a 935-acre mixed-use community developed by McWhinney, is located just west of I-25 and Colorado Highway 7. It serves as a major growth corridor along the Front Range. Prospect Ridge Academy is the first project to be completed at North Park.

Prospect Ridge Academy, a new-public Adams 12 district-approved Core Knowledge charter school, offers a college-preparatory curriculum, with a math and science focus. The school purchased 6 acres within the North Park community from McWhinney in 2011 after the Broomfield City Council unanimously approved the project in May. During the construction process, a temporary facility in Thornton was used until the new building was completed.

“McWhinney has long supported public education in Colorado; this is our third charter school partnership,´ said Jay Hardy, McWhinney vice president and general manager of North Park. “When we heard Prospect Ridge Academy needed a large space to house its new program, we knew North Park could offer them the convenience and adequate space they were searching for to meet their current and future growth needs.”
