Why Do Families Choose Kent Denver?
Kent Denver offers the unwavering value of a fine education and an engaging school program and community for our children—a well-rounded experience that successfully starts each student on the path to a lifetime of intellectual growth, achievement, and moral strength.


Kent Denver parents and students put it all on the line when they commit the time, energy, and resources necessary to be members of this community. We appreciate this sacrifice, and the administration and faculty share this level of dedication because we are ambitious and truly believe that our students are capable of great achievements.


We frequently ask members of our community, "Why Kent Denver School?” Here are some of the responses we have heard:

"Kent Denver expects more of my child, and my child has come to expect more of himself."

"The individual attention and generous extra help create a solid foundation for success and personal confidence."

"Where else do all students engage intellectually, participate athletically, and grow artistically with the understanding that they make a difference and are valued?"

"I just like the fact that my child is surrounded by smart, capable, ambitious, and caring adults—and peers—all day, every day. I know that this rubs off in ways that are obvious now, and will become more obvious through time."

"Competence without character is a false promise; Kent Denver instills core values that stand the test of time and temptation."

"With small classes my child gets to participate, defend a position, or contribute to discussion every day. There is no 'back seat' in a Kent Denver classroom."

"Kent Denver is a safe place where my child can take risks and feel supported."

"We have a brief window of time to get it right in terms of what our children experience. We want to get it right."
