About COLORADO HIGH SCHOOL CHARTER INC

Colorado High School Charter (CHSC) is a Denver-based public charter organization operating alternative high school programs (Osage and GES campuses) that serve students who have struggled in traditional school settings. The school provides accelerated credit recovery, GED programming, concurrent enrollment opportunities, restorative practices, and partnerships for counseling and workforce/college pathways. CHSC focuses on individualized supports, flexible scheduling (including an accelerated/four-day model in practice), and community partnerships to help students complete high school and pursue post-secondary goals.

In recent years CHSC has enrolled roughly 180–210 students per campus (Osage and GES) and reports a student population with high rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, a significant share of students of color, multilingual learners, and students with individualized education plans. The organization operates as a 501(c)(3) public charity and maintains regular governance, financial, and performance reporting through its board and Colorado education reporting systems.
