About Denver Christian School

Denver Christian is an independent, PreK-12 Christian school dedicated to serving students from Christian families across the Denver metro area, including those in early childhood, elementary, middle, and high school. Located on our beautiful Lakewood, CO campus, we have been a cornerstone of Christian education in our city for over a century.

For generations, Denver Christian has equipped and empowered students to love God deeply and use their unique gifts to serve their neighbors, both locally and globally. Today, we are proud to serve more than 985 students from over 550 families, representing over 120 churches.

Partnering with parents and churches, we guide students to flourish in their relationship with Christ. While their journey begins with their families’ faith commitment, our professional faculty walk alongside them, nurturing growth as students own and integrate their faith and learning into their lives.

At Denver Christian, we are committed to developing the whole child. Our core curriculum goes beyond academics, encompassing athletics, arts, and extracurricular activities that engage the mind, body, and heart. Through these rich experiences, we aim to uncover and nurture the God-given gifts and talents within each student.

We would be honored to welcome you and your family to our campus, where you can experience the warmth of our community, the depth and breadth of our opportunities, and the presence of God’s spirit in everything we do.
