The Liberty Common charter schools in Fort Collins have been shown to have close ties to Hillsdale, though it does not appear like they use the 1776 curriculum at this point in time.

Our district’s first charter school, Merit Academy, visited LCS recently and seems aligned with their philosophy. It remains to be seen if Merit will drift more into the Hillsdale side of things, but that does seem like a strong possibility.
