About Us

Denver Christian is a parent run Preschool – 12th grade school serving the students of Christian families at our Lakewood campus.  Our long tradition of excellence began over 100 years ago, and today Denver Christian provides world-class whole child education to over 850 students from 575 families representing over 120 Christian churches in the Denver metro area.

Denver Christian’s commitment to world-class whole child education is evidenced by its faculty, facilities, and broad curricular and cocurricular opportunities.  Denver Christian School is affiliated with both Christian Schools International and Association of Christian Schools International, which includes over 23,000 school systems in the United States and more than 100 countries worldwide. It is accredited by Cognia and the faculty are licensed by the state of Colorado.  Our faculty also average 14 years teaching experience, and nearly half of them have earned advanced degrees.

Our vision is to provide an accessible world-class, whole child, Christian education where students flourish every day in every way.  Our commitment is to provide world-class learning opportunities for children to develop in the following areas:

Cognitive Growth: Growth of our student’s ability to think and learn well.

Creative and Innovative Growth: Growth of our student’s ability to use their thinking to create something original or better.  

Physical Growth: Growth of our student’s bodies as it relates to proper rest, nutrition, and exercise.  

Social and Emotional Growth: Growth of our student’s ability to empathize with others as they grow in the management of their own emotions.  

Spiritual Growth: Growth in our student’s desire to know God and His plan for their life as part of the teaching and learning process.  

Personal Growth: Growth in our student’s desire to understand their own interests, abilities, and how the development of these connects to their long-term educational success.  

Our Lakewood campus houses our entire preschool – 12th grade student body. Featuring technology-equipped classrooms, a STEM lab, two gyms, two libraries, multiple fine arts classrooms and rehearsal space, the Thunder Grounds coffee bar, Grateful Plate dining area, and lighted athletic fields. It provides students at all grade levels tools to learn, grow, and succeed.

Families concerned with their children’s spiritual development as well as their academic preparation should consider a partnership with Denver Christian School.  Families sometimes believe they may sacrifice academic quality in order for their children to benefit from a distinctively Christian education. At Denver Christian School your child will receive both.  In addition to a world class education, we believe that Denver Christian will provide students with these additional advantages:

• A caring Christian community to belong to
• An environment that fosters a commitment to a personal relationship with Jesus 
• Individualized attention to each student
• Relationships with faculty who are mature Christian role models 
• Biblical instruction as well as classroom and community worship 
• Preparation for a life of Christian service

“Because of the faith-based education our kids received from Denver Christian, they are more at peace in these uneasy times knowing God has a plan for them. They see how God and education are intertwined. For example, they see how God shows himself in science with his wonderful imagination and it gives them a deeper understanding for the world and its workings.”
