About AUL Mission: The mission of the Academy of Urban Learning is to empower young people to become self-sufficient adults by providing a rigorous high school diploma program to youth who need extensive wrap-around services to succeed academically and socially. Core Values: The Academy of Urban Learning believes in fostering a strong sense of community and does so by encouraging all students and staff to uphold the schools Core Values on a daily basis. Academy of Urban Learning ( AUL ) was founded by the Jared Polis Foundation and Urban Peak Denver in the Fall 2005. Both organizations recognized the need for a small public charter high school in Denver that would focus on providing essential wraparound services to youth who are homeless, experiencing unstable living conditions or have other at-risk factors. The Jared Polis Foundation and Urban Peak Denver understood the importance of staff and students knowing each other well and creating a caring, academic environment that pushes each student to succeed....focuses on individuals who failed to thrive...because of homelessness, unstable living conditions... AUL is proud to employ a diverse staff that cares and respects each other and works to build solid relationships with each of our students. We focus on our students as they were unable to thrive in traditional classroom environments because of homelessness, unstable living conditions, personal problems and other issues that hindered their academic performance. AUL's educational strategy is structured around a competency-based curriculum, where each student is encouraged to develop an individualized learning plan. Case Managers, Advisors, guardians and teachers work collaboratively to ensure that students reach acceptable levels of competency in core subject areas: Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science. In addition to academic competencies, AUL is committed to helping students graduate from high school and develop the skills necessary for economic self-sufficiency into their adult years.
