Logan School For Creative Learning

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.

“Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
