St. Anne’s Episcopal School

Denver, CO
PS – 8, 425 students, coeducational day school
Lower School Division Head to start July 1, 2012

With a long and interesting history, St. Anne’s Episcopal School traces its roots to the Sisters of the Order of St. Anne, a group of whom arrived in Denver in 1929. With a mission of caring for children in need, they provided education and solace for area children suffering from polio and other difficult conditions. Thanks to the advances of modern medicine, these services eventually became less critical, but the Sisters’ love of children and education prompted them to form a more traditional independent school in 1950. Many years later, the school has grown into one of Denver’s premier coeducational schools with 425 students in grades preschool through eight, but the foundation and commitment to character, compassion and service to others established by those founding Sisters still permeate everything we do.

Another component of the “magic” that is St. Anne’s is its unique campus. Nestled within the urban limits of Denver, Colorado, at the corner of University Boulevard and Yale Avenue, the school offers an oasis of beauty and serenity. Spectacular gardens and a staggering variety of plant life adorn the grounds, and beautiful but equally functional buildings house the classrooms. Where else can you walk past rose gardens that spawned some of Colorado’s first and original hybrids, listen to the gentle chimes of a chapel bell dating back to the 1800’s, and enter a state-of-the-art science classroom and observe a lesson taught via SmartBoards? Add to that an additional 17-acre experiential-education facility in the foothills outside of Denver called St. Anne’s in the Hills, and it is difficult to imagine a more unique or effective environment for educating children.

The Lower School includes grades PS – 5 with 250 students and 35 faculty members. The Lower School Division Head reports directly to the Head of School. Candidates for this position should have lower school administrative experience; independent school experience is preferred.
