About Academy School District 20:
It started in the early 1900’s with just one school.
“In the early 1900s, the high altitude and dry climate of Colorado Springs gained international reputation as a cure for tuberculosis. The Modern Woodmen of America, a life insurance company, opened a massive TB sanitorium for afflicted employees in what came to be known as Woodmen Valley. The sanitorium’s popularity necessitated a school in the valley, and thus was born Woodmen School and the official beginnings of School District Twenty.” (Taken from District 20 Website)

Academy District 20 slowly grew to meet the needs of families in Black Forest, Woodmen Valley and eventually the Air Force Academy. Until the early 1980’s, Academy School District 20 had just one high school, one middle school and a handful of elementary schools. They have grown to 5 High Schools, 5 Middle Schools, 18 Elementary Schools and one Charter School.
