Kent Denver School is a private, co-educational, non-sectarian college preparatory high school and middle school in Englewood, 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. The 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 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. Since then the school has been known as Kent Denver Country Day School, and its current name, Kent Denver School.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
They never cared for school anyway.
And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
