Parent: I can't believe the incredible transformation my daughter has made in her first year at Kent Denver. Her 6th grade experience continued her positive academic trajectory, in tandem with developing communication and social-emotional skills. It has been amazing to watch her build her confidence, both inside and outside of the classroom. Socially, she found friends quickly and easily (she did not know many other students), and academically, was encouraged to find her voice and self-advocate for herself. Most importantly, my daughter is happy, the happiest we've seen her, and we can't wait to see how she'll to continue to grow. I highly recommend Kent Denver!... Read 136 reviews

Parent: My twin daughters have attended St. Mary's Academy since kindergarten and are now seniors in the high school. I can't say enough great things about the school! The small class sizes, nurturing environment, academics, and feeling of community is unparalleled. All the teachers have been absolutely incredible and know my kids so well. They serve as incredible mentors for the students and truly take an interest in their well-being. My daughters have developed into confident, assertive, curious and kind young adults as a result of their SMA experience. They are very well prepared for college. Unlike many high schools, the SMA high school has very little social drama and the friendships my daughters have made will undoubtedly be lifelong. As a parent, many of my best friends are fellow SMA parents. I wholeheartedly recommend St. Mary's----- I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.... Read 116 reviews

Alum: Was a solid college preparatory experience. VERY dominantly white, limited resources for lgbtq+ peoples; not accepting of trans identities. Solid resources for applying for colleges, counsellors were good at what they do. Teachers were mostly good with some bad apples mixed in to avoid (ask an upperclassman or alumni). Food was good when I first started but got cheaper and worse over time; they are very willing to flake out on that end. VERY high variety of clubs, whatever you want to do they most likely have it, though it's hard to get involved in the larger ones, such as robotics or theater due to large volume of students. Obviously very religious, theology classes are required and integrated into the main curriculum. Occasional mass attendance required. Bear these in mind before applying. Not for everyone, but wealthy white individuals will likely have a smooth experience. Be wary of it's general low diversity. If you care mostly about college prep, very solid pick....

Sophomore: DJDSis the most amazing school, home, family, and community. Going to this school has allowed me to flourish in ways that could never be replicated anywhere else. Secularly, the teachers are so invested in my learning and will always find a time to meet with me to go over stuff and genuinely want me to succeed. In regards to the Judaic program, It has allowed me to discover God and spirituality, without ever telling me what I should believe. The classesmerely push you to challenge your own beliefs and think deeply about the subject so every student can benifit.Most importantly, DJDS has given me my second family I can walk down the hallway everyday and be surrounded by people I can count on. DJDS transformed me from a timid 6th grader who was nervous to ask a teacher to fix my grade. To an ambsious high schooler who frequently meets with her teachers, give speeches in front of the school, and advocates for herself. I cannot thank DJDS enough for this.... Read 31 reviews

Parent: Rock Solid Christian Academy has been such a great school for our family. The hybrid model has allowed our family so much flexibility to participate in out of school activities, which was a huge draw to the school for our family. I especially value the 'slow start' to kindergarten, going to school just two or three days per week. The teachers are supportive and responsive to any questions I have had about my children and their learning. We've found friends and like minded community at RSCA that we are so thankful for!...

Parent: Accelerated Schools has been life changing for our son. He receives individualized instruction which has been extraordinarily important for his success. The staff and teachers manage to find the strengths of each student and encourage each student to excel on their path. Has been such a great environment for our son who struggled with more traditional approaches. Since coming to Accelerated three years ago, he has become more confident and is learning more than ever!... Read 17 reviews

The diversity of students and staff is like no other, there are so many countries that are represented here. The academics are top notch, it is rigorous, but there are so many resources to help you succeed!... Read 31 reviews

Parent: Our family moved to Colorado this summer but before we had even moved, we had chosen Anastasis as our kiddos school. We are nothing less than thrilled that we had! It is clear that the teachers and staff truly see, know and care about each student. They work as a team to support and encourage each child to be their very best selves and reach their highest potential. It’s incredible to see learning happen in such open ended and experiential ways that you often don’t get to see elsewhere. There is a deep sense of the love of Jesus and The Word woven through out their days and learning. We absolutely love that the kids are not just getting an education on who Jesus is but are given opportunities to live out his love daily inside and outside the walls of Anastasis. Our kiddos are clearly growing and thriving emotionally, mentally, and spiritually here! We love Anastasis and what it stands for and is building!... Read 12 reviews

Parent: After moving my family from the San Francisco Bay Area to Denver, I am extremely grateful to have found MSD. All three of my children currently attend the school (Primary, Elementary, and Middle School) and each are thriving in their own way. The kids' collective opinion is that MSD is a very special place - a school like no other. I agree! With past experience in both private and public schools, what stands out to me about MSD is the love and dedication teachers give to each student and family. Rooted in the philosophy of Montessori, my kids are being prepared to navigate the future world. They have daily opportunities to build their independence, confidence, creativity, and collaboration skills. Most importantly, they are safe, happy, and love going to school each day. We love MSD and highly recommend it!... Read 11 reviews

Parent: We've been at Aspen since Pre-K and have loved every minute of it! Our little one will be entering 3rd grade in the fall. Before we joined Aspen, we looked at several other private schools in our area and their philosophies on learning, leadership and entrepreneurial lifestyle were a perfect fit for our family. We have seen our child excel academically, socially and emotionally at school. Their programs are challenging and bring out the best in our kiddos! The small class sizes provide the space to dig deep on subjects, support personal growth, and build lifelong friendships. We are blessed to be a part of the Aspen family!... Read 26 reviews

Parent: This school as a whole--with its loving teachers, responsible and caring administration, and involved parents--is an incredible blessing to our children and to us as parents. Not only does SCS have strong academics (our kids are above their grade levels in reading and math), but it also has HEART. The staff is incredible, and I really can't say enough positive things about the school. I am SO THANKFUL our kids attend SCS!... Read 22 reviews

Teachers actively engage students and seek to learn what interests them as they look for ways in which to engage their students. Curriculum is differentiated to meet the needs of each student and both students and parents feel supported.... Read 5 reviews

Works Here: Full disclosure: I work here in the administration and I think this is a school that should be replicated in so many cities across the country. We take our commitment to language learning, diversity of though, income, race, and nationality seriously and where we fall short we are constantly working to improve. The kids at this school are nothing short of amazing in the ways that they are socially and emotionally rounded and academically engaged. This is a special place that is only improving year over year.... Read 5 reviews

Parent: Public schools never met the academic needs of our gifted yet dyslexic boys. Their academics and self-esteem suffered enormously. We tried Denver Academy as a last ditch effort because the boys really preferred the variety of social possibilities to homeschooling. Our experience has been nothing short of life changing and transformative for both of them and ultimately for our whole family. We have been here for two years and plan to go through all of high school. Things we love: individualized learning plan sculpted to their needs, fantastic teachers, PE every day, art, music, and great STEM electives, small class sizes.... the list goes on. Pleased we found this place just doesn’t do justice to how positive our experience has been.... Read 51 reviews

Parent: St. Anne’s is a special place. The community of people stood out to us above all else when exploring schools for our child. The faculty and staff are truly committed to fostering a love of learning among students, and there is a genuine culture of care and concern for others. As a parent, I am especially grateful that the focus on character development is just as important as a rigorous academic curriculum. We feel lucky to be a part of this incredible school....

Parent: Both my children attend MPB, 1 in elementary for 2 years & 1 in the ELC. The low student ratios, exceptional teacher retention (20+ years in many cases), tight-knit & active parent community, focus on learning, & character building all make it a wonderful school. Religion is weaved into the curriculum, but as a non-Catholic family, we feel very welcomed. My children are not alone in being the only non-Catholics & their teachers and religious staff are very respectful of our religion. Their Covid response was one of the best in the area, and there is a reason generations of parents send their kids here.... Read 5 reviews
