We help students thrive academically and physically as they become independent and self-reliant. With a dedicated team of teachers, nurses, a child advocate, and a school counselor, the students receive a quality education while learning to manage their illnesses, ultimately enabling them to return to a traditional public school setting.

Managing a chronic illness can dominate daily life — from the overwhelming steps involved in everyday care, to the logistics of frequent medical appointments. In traditional school settings, chronically ill children miss school due to illness, sit on the sidelines during physical education, and make frantic visits to the emergency room. 

When our students enroll at Morgridge Academy, their families see changes for better. School attendance and participation in athletics drastically improve. Academic success measures climb steadily as students are able to focus on learning without the increased stress of managing their illness on their own. Morgridge Academy makes the difference for chronically ill children in Denver, helping them unlock their potential with essential support.
