The Denver Public Schools SchoolChoice Round 1 window for the 2026–27 school year opens December 2, 2025 at 10:00 AM and closes January 20, 2026 at 4:00 PM.
This earlier timeline gives families more time to submit applications and receive school placements by late February.
We invite you to make Robert F. Smith STEAM Academy your #1 Choice and schedule a tour to see firsthand what makes our school an incredible option for your student.
Inspired by the principles of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), STEAM Academy offers a culturally-affirming, rigorous learning experience that prepares students for college, careers, and leadership.
Students receive individualized support and build strong relationships with teachers who know them, challenge them, and champion their success.
From engineering and robotics to digital media, and biomedical science, students develop real-world skills that connect to high-demand careers.
We take pride in creating a warm, supportive environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued.
Students have access to mentors, internships, academic support, and enrichment programs that build confidence, character, and readiness for life after high school. 1/4 of our Seniors last year graduated with their Associate Degree (2yrs of College Complete) before receiving their High School Diploma.
