History

​

Created to fill a distinct need, DAT has grown and evolved to serve today’s students with both relevance and reverence. DAT was started by a determined group of parents looking to create a school focused on excellence in both Judaic and general studies, where students could develop strong bonds to the land and State of Israel, and be nurtured to develop into upstanding moral citizens who are productive members of society and play leadership roles in the Jewish community and beyond.

​

DAT began in a small building owned by a local synagogue in the area. The school began to attract families who were interested in the warm and nurturing environment, the focus on both general studies and a Judaic education, the Israeli flavor of the school, the exceptionally strong faculty, and the strong text-based Judaic education their children received.

​

In 1999, DAT moved into our current location on a gorgeous, nine-acre campus. Our school is thriving, growing, and looking toward the future with enthusiasm — and an incredible community of support.

​

Also in 2010, in response to a strongly felt and articulated community need, DAT expanded its offerings with the opening of an off-campus high school. In January 2019, we officially opened the high school building so K-12 is now in one place — The Glassman Education Campus in Denver’s Lowry neighborhood.
