James Irwin Charter Schools is a network of six charter schools in Colorado Springs, Colorado named after the late Apollo 15 Astronaut James Benson Irwin.  Founded in 2000, it has four campuses and nearly 2,000 students.   The mission of James Irwin Charter Schools is to help guide students in the development of their character and academic potential through academically rigorous, content-rich educational programs.

Our K-12 schools (James Irwin Charter High School, James Irwin Charter Middle School, James Irwin Elementary-Astrozon and James Irwin Elementary-Howard) have been recognized nationally, statewide and locally for academic excellence and achievement.
