Welcome to the Denver Christian Schools 
High School Campus!

Welcome to Denver Christian High School, a co-educational, college-preparatory, Christian school. Our 9-12 high school campus is fed by our two K-8 campuses plus new students joining the DCS family. Currently serving just over 250 students, our high school offers a teacher/student ratio of 1/15. This allows our staff to personally convey to the students a sense of warmth and genuine care for each student's individual development and needs.
 
Our high school campus is located near Broadway and Evans Avenue in South Denver, providing our students, staff and families with a conveniently located campus near the heart of downtown Denver and a short drive from the surrounding suburban areas. Our facilities include comfortable classrooms for 9 through 12th grade, a biology and chemistry lab, a cafeteria, a media center, a state-of-the-art computer lab, two gyms and access to track and sports field that services our students and community. 

Our curriculum integrates educational excellence with Biblical perspective to equip our students to bring Christ's transforming power and love into all areas of our broken world. When you visit our campus, you will also meet a dedicated staff that gives our school that "small town school in a big city" and extended family feel that our parents enjoy so much.

We are extremely proud of the fact that 99% of our students obtain a DCS high school diploma, and that 94% of those students continue onto post-secondary studies. For a complete list of colleges, universities and institutions that have accepted DCHS Alumni, please click here.
