School Notes
Here, your children will transform from students to global
citizens. We are a multicultural, multilingual school, welcoming
children from age three through eighth grade into our inclusive,
globally-minded community. Our approach uniquely combines French,
Spanish, and Chinese (Mandarin)-immersion education with an
interdisciplinary International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years
Programme in our sixth through eighth-grade middle school.
Bilingualism is our foundation. Walk our halls and you will
hear students and native-speaking faculty engaged in accredited
curricula from France, China, Spain, and the IB. Research shows
that bilinguals exhibit higher academic achievement in math,
reading, and language usage; greater cognitive function; and are
ultimately more effective communicators. Most importantly to us,
language acquisition develops more compassionate and empathetic
world citizens.
Multiculturalism reigns and actions speak louder than words.
Here, your family is part of a thriving international community. We
shine brightest at our school-wide cultural events like our World
Tea Fair, International Bash, and Night of the Tales, all of which
enrich our learner and families` experiences and celebrate our
diversity. We are also the only school in the Denver region that
offers 5th-grade learners the opportunity to study abroad, in
China, France, or Spain, where they are immersed in the cultures
and communities of their target language programs. Our 8th-grade
learners also spend 10 days in Costa Rica on an IB capstone
service-learning trip each spring. We are proud of our racial,
ethnic, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic diversity, all of
which make ISDenver a true microcosm of the world. You belong
here.

We have been exceptionally thrilled with the International School of Denver. They navigated through COVID wonderfully. We know that our child is getting a top-notch bilingual education that teaches diversity, kindness, and a global perspective. All of the teachers have been amazing in how they teach, understand each child's needs, and exude love. We are so fortunate!

I am more and more grateful that my kids are at ISDenver. As parents who came all the way through grad programs in public schools, we honestly weren't looking for a private school. But this school came into our radar, and we were immediately drawn in. Hearing my kids walk up to complete strangers who they hear speaking Spanish, and interacting with them comfortably, is amazing (that started in kindergarten!). Even better is the way they are learning: by asking questions, by informing the directions of the lessons (they are routinely asked what they want to learn more about), and by learning about the entire world full of culture, language, and so much more. Art lessons flow into music lessons flow into Spanish lessons, flow in English lessons. It's truly my hope for the future - I wish every child could learn this way.

Our daughter has been at this school for 11 years, started when she was only 2 1/2, and there has been no other education that could come close to what she has received here; both academically and emotionally. She has always been pushed and always acknowledged for her strengths. With the differentiation in the classroom, the immersion in the lower school and the IB in the upper school, the education at ISD is unparalleled. The social, emotional aspect and the classroom curriculum is very strong in creating compassionate globally minded citizens, one strong in communication in multiple languages and strong in math and science. This is the gem of Denver!

I have two kids enrolled in ISDenver's French program and couldn't be happier. The quality of the education they are provided, along with the emotionally supportive environment are a perfect combination. We have been extremely impressed with all of the school's faculty and other staff. The love and attention my kids receive each day is incredible. We love the language aspect of the school, but the real reason we fell in love with the school was for the genuine international feel of the school community and the diversity we see daily in our kids' classrooms.

The school is very very strong in the Upper grade levels making us wonder whether or not one day there will be a High school. We are happy with the challenge our daughter receives in Math - the teacher pushes her students to achieve the very best she is capable of attaining. The school uses a platform called ManageBac - it is very very good.
