It was started in the 1981 as "The Denver School" by Patricia McKinnell, the current Dean of Students. Since 1999 Logan has been located on Lowry Air Force Base, where it is one of several independent schools on a 1,866-acre (7.55 km2) former military site that is being redeveloped as a mixed-use urban community.
The mission of The Logan School for Creative Learning is to provide an experience-based educational opportunity for gifted children of all backgrounds that allows each child to develop individually to his or her full potential."
Logan was tenderly guided by Andrew Slater, the past head of school, for seven years. Andrew spearheaded the mission to rebuild Logan, as he helped orchestrate a five million dollar renovation. Andrew's effect is still felt by the Logan community today.
Mark Niedermier is the current Head of School. His innovative thinking and creative means of instituting the Logan philosophy are some of his renowned talents. His past positions include Head of School at Friends School of Minnesota and Pacific Northern Academy in Alaska.

Famous quotes containing the words school, creative and/or learning:
“I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“If you think of learning as a path, you can picture yourself walking beside her rather than either pushing or dragging or carrying her along.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
