Atlas prepares and empowers all students for success on their post-graduate paths through educational excellence, character development, and community engagement. Atlas believes that all students have incredible capacity for success and brilliance, and that it is our job to guide each student along their individual path- whether that be college, apprenticeships, military, or entering the workforce.

We invite you to join us in supporting these students as they embark on lifelong pathways of learning and success. A gift to Atlas is a gift to the 1225 students who walk through our doors every day. Your donation ensures these students have access to quality experiences that go beyond your average school. 95% of Atlas students are low-income, and by investing in providing each student with high-quality, and highly supported experiences, you are working to break generational cycles of poverty and raise up the next generation of leaders in Colorado Springs and Beyond.

FAQ

Why should I donate to Atlas and charter schools in general?

Supporting Atlas has a positive impact on education by supporting innovation, addressing educational inequalities, and empowering the Colorado Springs community through:

  1. Supporting Educational Innovation: Charter schools often have more flexibility in their curriculum and teaching methods compared to traditional public schools. By donating, you can support innovative approaches to education that better meet the needs of diverse learners.

  2. Addressing Achievement Gaps: Atlas predominantly serves low income families and historically underrepresented youth as well as students who have struggled in traditional school settings. Donations help provide resources and support to these students, helping to narrow achievement gaps.

  3. Encouraging School Choice:Atlas offers families an alternative to traditional public schools, allowing them to choose the best educational fit for their children. By donating to Atlas, you support this concept of school choice and empower families to make decisions about their children's education.

  4. Community Investment: Atlas serves as a community hub, providing not only education but also other resources and support services including an onsite food pantry. Donating to Atlas can strengthen our community by investing in a strong educational and community institution.

  5. Tax Deductions: All donations to Atlas are tax-deductible, which also provides you a financial benefit to support our work.
