Our STORY

BRAVE Academy emerged from the vision and growth of BRAVE Church, which was founded by Dr. Jeff Schwarzentraub and his wife Kimberly in Denver in 2010. After successfully establishing and growing BRAVE, he felt called to address educational needs in the community. In early 2023, recognizing the opportunity to make a positive impact through education, he initiated the development of BRAVE Academy, envisioning a school that would provide classical Christian education to the next generation of learners. The academy officially opened its doors on August 22, 2023, initially serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Following a successful inaugural year, BRAVE Academy expanded significantly in 2024, extending its educational offerings to include all grade levels from kindergarten through 12th grade. This expansion allowed the academy to serve a broader range of students while maintaining its commitment to classical Christian education principles.

OUR VISION

To Assemble a Spirit-filled Army to Fight for the Fulfillment of the Great Commission in our Lifetime. At BRAVE Academy, we aim to do this by cultivating a community of young learners who are inspired by the beauty of God’s truth, equipped with the tools of critical thinking, and driven by a passion for lifelong learning. We seek to foster a deep understanding and appreciation of classical education, instilling in our students a love for literature, history, mathematics, and the natural sciences, all within the framework of a Christian worldview. Guided by Biblical principles, BRAVE Academy aspires to develop virtuous character, nurturing the hearts and minds of our students to become resolute in their identity, authentic in their relationships and engaged in the mission of courageously transforming our culture with Christ.
