Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
At Colorado Military Academy (CMA), we are committed to fostering the success of every student. Our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a comprehensive framework designed to provide academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support tailored to each student’s needs. This system aligns with CMA’s mission of leadership, aerospace, and academic excellence.

MTSS is an evidence-based approach that integrates instruction, interventions, and assessments. It focuses on early identification and support for students who may struggle academically or behaviorally. MTSS ensures that all students receive the right level of support to thrive in their educational journey.
