Admissions

Welcome! Bienvenue! Bienvenido! 欢迎!

We are so excited to get to know you.

Invitation to stay a while. Engage in any capacity you are ready for. It all starts by completing this short form (depending on your enrollment year of interest - see details below). By telling us a little bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a school, you'll gain access to:

Sign up for a campus tour with our Admissions team.
Have your Primary and Middle School students experience a day in the life at ISDenver on a Shadow Day.
Begin your application (available currently for 2024-25 applicants only)!

Still exploring schools for the 2024-25 school year?

Great! We accept rolling admissions and have space available in some of our programs!
As stated above, the first step is to complete this short form. This will give you access to an Admissions Portal where you can get started on the application process and sign up for a campus tour.

Looking at us for the 2025-26 school year?

Brilliant! Our inquiry form and application for the 2025-26 school year will be available here before or by October 1st, 2024. At that point you may fill out the new inquiry form and/or application, RSVP for an Open House, and schedule a tour.

Interested in the 2026-27 school year and beyond?

We admire your planning skills! We do not hold a waitlist from year to year. You cannot apply multiple school years in advance or 'hold a spot.'

Don't worry, we've got you covered when it is time to apply and enroll! Tours are part of the application process, and our inquiry form and application open the October prior to the year of interest (e.g. if you are interested in the 2027-28 school year, you could fill out our inquiry form after October 1, 2026).

Please reach out if you have any questions. We can't wait to meet you and share this very special place with you where we are building a more compassionate and curious world, one student at a time.

ISDENVER ADMISSIONS POLICY
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION POLICY

ISDENVER ADMISSIONS POLICY

ISDenver is an inclusive, globally minded community developing highly motivated and academically successful bilingual learners who are inter-culturally adept and make positive contributions in a complex world. Our community is committed to a shared vision of an exemplary, multi-lingual international school. We welcome families who share our values of diversity, integrity, compassion, responsibility, and perseverance. ISDenver’s Guiding Principles drive all aspects of our admissions policy including recruitment, assessment, and enrollment of each student. On the rare occasions when the school believes that individuals are behaving in ways that do not correspond to our Guiding Principles, we do reserve the right to refuse admission or suggest withdrawal.

ISDenver admits students without regard to race, color, national and ethnic origin, or sexual orientation in our Kinder 1 program through 8th grade.
We welcome applications to Early Childhood Education (grades K1-K3) from students with any language background. All children must be potty trained by the first day of school.
All children must be at least 3 years old by October 1st of their year of entry to be eligible to attend ISDenver. For example, if your child turns 3 on September 30, 2024, they would be eligible to attend our K1 program for the 2024-25 year.
We can accept a limited number of students in grades 1-2 to the Chinese, French, or Spanish tracks without prior language background. Space is contingent upon available levels of student support and varies across programs.
Our Spanish “Welcome Class” accepts students in grades 3-5 without prior language background. Students interested in pursuing a French or Chinese language track in these grades must demonstrate grade-level proficiency as a requirement for admission.
ISDenver welcomes applications to our Middle Years Programme (MYP) from all prospective students with any language background.

ISDenver is an inclusive school offering a broad, balanced, and rigorous curriculum to students with a wide range of learning differences and individual needs, including those with specific learning difficulties and differences as well as those who are highly achieving or gifted and talented and require challenge and enrichment. At ISDenver, we embrace students of all cultures and backgrounds, talents and differences. We support all students to help them achieve their full potential and meet their goals in order to become excellent learners and global citizens. We believe all learners deserve to be appropriately challenged and enriched.

This Admissions Policy was approved at the Q1 2016 ISDenver Board of Directors meeting.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION POLICY

In keeping with our Mission and Value statements, the International School of Denver celebrates the rich dimensions of diversity within each individual and across our entire school community. We engage and empower all members of our community inclusive of, but not limited to, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, ideologies, nationality, and socioeconomic status. We deliberately foster an authentically diverse and vibrant environment. As an educational organization, we strive to develop the individual identity of each community member and to appreciate and build from our collective differences, so they can thrive in and make positive contributions to a complex world.
