Why International School of Denver

Because when you combine our multilingual, multicultural IB education, a forward-thinking curriculum, and a diverse, globally-minded community, the outcome is extraordinary.

ISDenver is a very special and unique place. We teach languages - language acquisition is our “secret sauce” - but we are so much more than a language school. We create global citizens who are at home in the world, both inside and outside of our classrooms."
-Bob Carignan, Head of School

Our students learn both in and through their target language from native speakers, but that’s not all–they are immersed in the diverse cultures of countries and communities worldwide, resulting in interculturally adept, compassionate, and curious learners.
