Bradley Jackson Named Next Middle School Director

On Tuesday, January 7, Head of School David Braemer announced that Bradley Jackson will be Kent Denver’s Middle School Director as of July 1, 2025. Mr. Jackson’s appointment followed a comprehensive search process that included exceptional candidates from across the United States, as well as several international schools. 

“Bradley [has] excelled in a number of different roles at Kent Denver, each with increasing responsibility and complexity,” Mr. Braemer wrote. “He has proven to be the type of educator who can transform the lives of students and community and will undoubtedly build upon the foundational strength of our school and help us to continue to improve in a thoughtful, intentional manner.”

Mr. Jackson began his teaching career in Kent Denver’s Middle School in 2013, and he is excited to return to his middle school roots. "I've been privileged to witness how the 6–12 student experience at Kent Denver truly does transform the lives of our alumni," he shared. "The engaging, supportive, and challenging learning environment fostered in our Middle School serves as a foundation for this journey. I find myself inspired by a faculty community committed to lifelong learning, and I am thrilled to join them in the continued pursuit of excellence in educating the whole child."

Mr. Jackson will remain in his current role as Kent Denver’s Director of Wellness through the end of the 2024-25 school year. He will work closely with Interim Middle School Director Tim Barrier to ensure a smooth transition over the summer, allowing Mr. Barrier to return to his Middle School math teaching role next year.
