Two El Paso County school districts are advancing plans for new multi-district online schools serving students in grades 6-12. Lewis-Palmer School District 38 is considering Williamsburg Academy Colorado, while District 49 plans to develop V.I.S.T.A. and Falcon Flex Academies.
The proposed schools are described as hybrid programs intended to provide enhanced student engagement and additional educational options. The plans remain subject to state approval. If approved, the schools could launch in the 2027-28 school year.
The information available does not specify what learning formats or services the proposed hybrid programs would offer, how students would enroll, or how many students the schools might serve. It also does not provide details about the approval process, a decision timeline, or whether the districts have submitted formal applications to the state.
For District 38, Williamsburg Academy Colorado is under consideration; the summary does not say whether that name has been finalized or provide further details about the proposed school. District 49’s plans identify V.I.S.T.A. and Falcon Flex Academies, but no additional information about their programs or development stages was provided.
The potential 2027-28 opening applies only if the proposals receive state approval. No approval decision or confirmed opening date was reported. Further details about the schools’ operations, curriculum, staffing, and student participation were not included in the available information.
