Denver Academy of Torah Head of School Opportunity Statement

Our History

Denver Academy of Torah (DAT) was founded in 1993 by a small group of dedicated parents looking to prioritize:

Excellence in both Judaic and General Studies;

Torah values that inform students to become moral, productive members of society, who are well-equipped to play leadership roles in the Jewish community and beyond; and

Zionism in an effort to develop strong, life-long connections to the State of Israel.

In 1999, DAT completed construction of The Glassman Education Campus – a state-of-the-art elementary and middle school building situated on a nine-acre campus and located in the heart of the East Side Denver Jewish Community.

As time passed, it became clear that DAT students needed access to more than just K through 8th grade; they longed for a high school that would afford them the opportunity to continue to develop and embrace a strong Jewish identity, while pursuing a competitive and well-rounded education. In 2010, that aspiration became a reality as a fledgling DAT High School was founded, off-site.

In 2019, DAT realized its dream of offering K through 12 on one, unified campus as it celebrated the grand opening of a new high school building on The Glassman Education Campus, located in Denver’s Lowry neighborhood.
