First of all, congratulations! On behalf of the Admissions Team and our entire International School of Denver community, welcome! We are so excited to have you as a part of our community and don’t think it would be the same without you!

What is next?

Take a big breath! Really. You found the perfect placement for your child(ren) and now you have some breathing room. The first day of school is August 16 - which gives you plenty of time. (By the way, here is the 2023-2024 school year calendar for more important dates!)

Here is what you can expect from us in the coming months:

• Back-to-school logistics. Over the summer, we’ll send periodic emails with details on everything back-to-school related, including:
  • Virtual Orientation Videos
  • In-person new student orientation 
  • New Family Parent Portal
  • School packing lists
  • First-day details
• World ENews. World ENews is our one-stop-shop for campus-wide communications. During the summer, you’ll receive a monthly ENews from us. At the start of the school year, you’ll receive this electronic publication from us weekly, currently sent each Tuesday afternoon.
  • Club Sign-ups? Check ENews.
  • Volunteer Opportunities? Check ENews.
  • Important dates to remember? Check ENews.

How can I help my child prepare?

If your child(ren) is new to an immersion environment, here are a few ways you can help them prepare:

• Screentime in the Target Language. If you offer screen time, consider offering it only in Chinese, French, or Spanish.
• ISDenver Summer Programs! From Sports to Scuba, we’ve got you covered this summer with a wide variety of summer program options. If your child is three by this summer, consider signing up for a session or two of camp. You can choose the target language or a variety of English camps. This is a perfect way for your kid(s) to start getting super comfortable on campus and building their ear for language! Learn more on our summer programs website.
