About Us
A+ Denver is an independent, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization working to bring the power of Denver’s citizens to the effort of school reform. The organization was founded in 2006 by two former Denver mayors at the invitation of the Denver Public School District. A+ Denver has more than 100 members comprised of community and business leaders, parents, representatives from local foundations, and universities. Our singular goal is to do whatever is necessary to bring about dramatic improvement in student achievement so that all Denver children have the opportunity to reach their highest potential through the foundation of a quality K-12 education. Our work focuses on:
- Building community-wide support for necessary reforms that put the needs and interests of the students over the adults
- Establishing a community-based long-term view and commitment that bridges the inevitable changes in administrations and school boards
- Holding all stakeholders responsible for the results
