Kent Denver School

Kent Denver School is an independent day school in Englewood, Colorado, serving 700 to 1,000 students in grades 6 through 12. The campus sits on the south side of the Denver metro, a short drive from downtown and the Front Range foothills. The school is non-sectarian and built around five stated values: integrity, respect, personal growth, community, and wisdom.

The program is college preparatory. Students can study Mandarin, French, or Spanish, and the middle and upper schools share one campus. That overlap means faculty often follow students across several grades. Kent Denver also holds a strong balance sheet — net assets above $112 million and revenue near $32 million in 2023. In practice, that tends to show up as funded departments, stable class sizes, and current facilities.

Because this is a day school, faculty life differs from the boarding model. Teachers are not dorm parents, but most coach a sport, advise students, or lead a club after class. The trade is a real evening at home for a full afternoon on campus. That rhythm suits teachers who want close student contact without a seven-day schedule.

Hiring at Kent Denver School runs mainly from January through May for the next school year. Open faculty roles span English, math, science, world languages, arts, and athletics, plus periodic admissions, advancement, and operations jobs. Benefits at Colorado day schools of this size typically include health coverage, employer retirement contributions, professional development funds, and tuition remission for faculty children. Candidates usually apply through the school's careers page.
