Kent is the best decision we ever made for my son. We moved our family during the school year from Alaska for my son to attend and never looked back. The teachers and administrators are phenomenal. Kent has helped my son excel in the most important basics while cultivating a space for him to explore music, MUN, debate and more. We are eternally grateful.

The teachers are always there when you need them. The food is great. However, you can tell that the students are very privileged. The school is not very diverse and can make BIPOC students feel very out of place.

Kent Denver lives its mission and values better than any other school I know. While it supports students in achieving excellence in scholarship, it also helps them be their best selves as people, as learners and as members of their broader community.

Filled with mostly nice kids who...

That being said. People who think it's not diverse. Have not been around the school in 2022/23. It's ext...

I have mixed feelings about my time at Kent Denver. I attended throughout high school, and often look back and regret the decision to attend. To start on a positive note, the teachers are absolutely amazing. They are overwhelmingly supportive, knowledgeable, and, for lack of a better phrase, they ju...

A warm and welcoming community, with both a dean and advisor to maintain communication and check in with students. My son finds the students respectful and engaging. During our two years, the teachers have all been superb. Quality food in the dining hall. A very active Parent Association with an abu...
