Testimonials
ISDenver is a very unique place for kids in Denver because families come from around the world, giving kids invaluable exposure to different cultures. The environment instills an open-mindedness in kids from a very young age - it comes naturally rather than being taught.
- ISDenver PARENT
Parents who choose this education for their children are also choosing this environment for themselves in some part, making for a very supportive and engaging school for all of us.

Love the teachers and community. Impressed by the Spanish fest, so many beautiful performances and clearly much effort put into Spanish fest by teachers as well as students.
-ISDenver PARENT
I appreciate how the school is moving the pedagogy and strategy forward to be in-line with the latest thinking in education (I.e. Growth mindset, treating each child individually, etc.). The staff is all very caring and seem to love their jobs- that's rare to see!! I'm grateful that my child has an opportunity to attend ISDenver.

ISDenver resulted from the merger of Denver International School and Montclair Academy in 2009. Denver International School was started in 1977 by parents who wanted their children to study the official French curriculum, language, and culture. Due to parent demand, Spanish and Chinese curricula were added in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Montclair Academy was founded in 1981 by parents who wanted a strong independent school in Denver focused on educating children to become well-rounded, respectful and responsible citizens. While these original schools were small, their founding visions were extraordinary. An amalgamation of those visions, ISDenver is unique in its multilingual environment and commitment to academic excellence.
Today, as one of the premier international schools in the country, ISDenver fulfills the highest educational standards of the United States, the People's Republic of China, France and Spain. By adopting the educational standards of these countries and combining them with the highest U.S. independent school measures, ISDenver provides its students with an unsurpassed global educational experience.
