About The Denver Street School

We’re a 501(c)(3), faith-based, private high school serving the Metro Denver, inner-city community. We accept students who have struggled in, dropped out of, or been expelled from other schools and need a more personalized approach to their education. The school is completely privately funded and accredited by Cognia. Our campus is in Lakewood, located right in the heart of inner-city neighborhoods. Curriculum is based on state standards and includes courses in Math, Science, English, History, Economics, Computers, and electives. The student-to-teacher ratio averages 7:1. Student services include life counseling, tutoring, mentoring, athletic opportunities, individualized career counseling and testing, faculty advocacy, and health care referrals. The purpose of DSS is to bring hope, a second chance, and the love of Christ to Denver’s struggling students through quality education in a safe environment and a supportive network of loving, caring adults. Since 1985, we’ve offered struggling students a second chance to earn a high school diploma. We believe that every student—regardless of their past choices or present environment—deserves the opportunity for a high-quality education and the hope of a promising future. During the time they spend at DSS, we not only educate them in academic content, but we also help them analyze and overcome their past while opening their eyes to future possibilities. Students will become productive citizens by: ● acquiring tools to problem solve and set goals ● identifying and overcoming negative habits ● having a vision for a positive future ● working to develop and maintain healthy relationships ● knowing the Gospel and understanding how to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ ● finding and ethically using relevant information from multiple sources ● mastering course content ● earning a diploma
