Denver Christian School is a college preparatory Christian school that serves Preschool through 12th graders in Lakewood, CO. Founded in 1916, Denver Christian School offers a full and rich curriculum designed to educate the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. DCS consolidated three independent campuses into one new 20-acre campus, in August 2014. The school is thriving in its new state of the art 20 acre campus located at 3898 South Teller Street, Lakewood CO, 80235.
From preschool through 12th grade, a Denver Christian School education prepares students with a college preparatory program (filled with critical thinking, problem solving, literacy, STEM, and the fine arts) that encourages life-long learners, personal development, and active citizenship. The mission at DCS is to inspire and equip the students of Christian families with God's transforming power and love.

These events are wonderful opportunities to experience the school and campus personally. At every event, the Denver Christian administration and faculty are on hand to answer questions you may have about the school and the admissions process.
