Logan School for Creative Learning

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.

History
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, The Logan School moved to the former Lowry Air Force Base, where it is one of several independent schools on a 1866 acre site that has been redeveloped as a mixed-use urban community.

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.

Recognition
Some Logan students have received an award from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for their work.

Athletics
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
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.
