Our Story
STRIVE Prep is a Denver-based community of K-12 public charter schools committed to providing every student with an excellent, high-quality, college-preparatory education. STRIVE Prep was founded in 2006 with the belief that students from all backgrounds deserve a college preparatory education regardless of race, economic circumstance or previous academic achievement.
In 2006, Chris Gibbons, founder and CEO of STRIVE – Prep, opened the first STRIVE – Prep school with the goal of closing historic achievement gaps in Denver. Over a decade later, Chris’ vision continues to guide our schools. Whether students join us in elementary, middle or high school, we welcome every child to achieve a bright future, regardless of their background or previous academic achievement.
Our vision is to make a college preparatory education for all students in our community the norm, not the exception. STRIVE Prep clears a path for all families to have access to a high-quality school that’s just down the street, not across town. By building great schools in Far Northeast, Northwest and Southwest Denver, we will create depth of impact and long-lasting community change.
We know that great teachers are essential to educational excellence and we’re always looking for passionate, individuals who want to positively impact education in Denver, while growing their own career.
