ISDenver is an inclusive, globally minded community developing highly motivated and academically successful bilingual learners who are interculturally 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 rare occasions, when the school believes that individuals are behaving in ways that do not align with our Guiding Principles, we reserve the right to refuse admission or to suggest withdrawal.

• ISDenver admits students without regard to race, color, national and ethnic origin, or sexual orientation

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.

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.
