College and Career Guidance

Home / Academics / College and Career Guidance

The final piece of a Denver Christian education focuses on inspiring and equipping students to engage the world with Christ’s transforming power and love.

We guide our students to identify where their deep passion and the needs of this world intersect. A Denver Christian education prepares them with knowledge to pursue their interests and inspires them to use their gifts in their vocational pursuits.  Ultimately, our College and Career office helps students identify their interests, personalities, gifts and values. We use this framework as we advise students regarding their college and career goals. 

The following services and events are provided by the College and Career Office for our high school students.  While most of these pertain to juniors and seniors, students of all grade levels are encouraged to seek guidance whenever necessary.

Fall & Spring Financial Aid Night

Denver Christian has partnered with SMARTTRACK® College Funding High School Initiative, which  provides our families with free resources to help with planning and paying for college.
