It was started in the 1981 as "The Denver School" by Patricia McKinnell, the current Dean of Students.

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:
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Assuming that rapture is nature’s play with man, the Dionysian artist’s creative activity is the play with rapture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“What terrible questions we are learning to ask! The former men believed in magic, by which temples, cities, and men were swallowed up, and all trace of them gone. We are coming on the secret of a magic which sweeps out of men’s minds all vestige of theism and beliefs which they and their fathers held and were framed upon.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
