Kent Denver School

Résumé
Kent Denver School is a private, co-educational, non-sectarian college preparatory high school and middle school in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. It traces its origin back to the 1922 founding of the Kent School for Girls and has existed as a co-educational institution since 1974. The Kent School for Girls was founded by Mary Austin Bogue, Mary Louise Rathvon and Mary Kent Wallace on Sherman Street in Denver in 1922. Denver Country Day School, an all-men's high school, was founded by Andrews D. Black and Tom Chaffee in 1953, and the two schools relocated to a portion of the spacious Blackmer Farm in Cherry Hills Village in the 1960s. The schools operated side-by-side and with joint science classes until they merged in 1974 to become Kent Denver School. Kent Denver is located at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Quincy Avenue in Cherry Hills Village at 4000 East Quincy Avenue. The campus is centered on two lakes and bordered by the Highline Canal. The campus houses 68 classrooms in six main building complexes. Student life in the high school is centered on the Bogue Common Room, a former courtyard that was walled in to create a meeting place with a cafe and flexible spaces for socializing and study. Adjacent to the common room and the main upper school hallway is the Duncan Center, which houses the Boettcher Foundation Library on the upper level and Impact Studio on the ground floor. The Gates Science Center/Magness Technology Center includes classrooms, science laboratories and office space and is also home to a coral lab and microscopy lab. Gates also houses an astrometric (sundial) tower that was completed with the help of KDS science students. The Middle School building houses three classroom wings, each containing a grade-level common room. The center of the building features the Centennial Center, a library and flexible learning hub and Kuntz Commons, a community meeting space for the entire middle school. Completed in 2018, the Middle School received LEED Platinum certification, the highest level of recognition for sustainable building and design.
