The Logan School for Creative Learning is a Co-ed private school in Denver, Colorado that serves gifted students in grades K-8 on a 13-acre campus.[1]
History[edit]
The Logan School for Creative Learning (previously The Denver School for the Gifted and Creative) was founded by Patti McKinnell in 1981. It began with seven children in a church basement on South Federal Boulevard in Denver. In 1999,[2] The Logan School moved to the former Lowry Air Force Base, where it is one of several independent schools on a 1,866-acre (7.55 km2) site that has been redeveloped as a mixed-use urban community.[3]
Markus Hunt is the current Head of School. His previous positions include Assistant Head at Cathedral School for Boys in San Francisco, and Dean/Latin Teacher at The Trinity School in Manhattan.
McKinnel retired at the end of the 2019–2020 school year.[4]
Recognition[edit]
Some Logan students have received an award from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for their work.[5]
Athletics[edit]
Students on sports teams compete against other schools in the area. Sports offered as of 2020 include: co-ed cross country, girls volleyball, boys and girls basketball, co-ed ultimate frisbee and girls soccer.
Admission process[edit]
The admission process includes a tour and information session, application, student questionnaire, teacher recommendation and the completion of either a Wechsler or Differential Ability Scales test. Once all the paperwork is submitted, a parent interview and classroom observation may be scheduled. A panel reviews each application to determine the school's ability to serve the applicant, after which families are notified if they will be offered a position, or if their child will be added to a waiting list.[6]
