Kent Denver believes that students learn and grow when they are given the freedom, time and opportunity to explore, create, compete and have fun—both inside and outside of class. We support students’ minds, bodies and spirits through our engaging clubs and electives, as well as our robust wellness, academics and college counseling support.

The Kent Denver community is great! If you come here, you’ll make a lot of friends and have so much fun. You’ll love the teachers and the education here—and the view of the mountains! Evan D.Class of 2029
