Mandarin Chinese? Denver Language School (DLS) is Colorado’s only public K-8 early total immersion school offering Spanish and Chinese. Our educational model is research-based and data-driven; we are focused on academic excellence and cultural competence through language immersion.
DLS has been open since 2010 and we serve 890 students from all over the Denver metro area. We are a diverse school with a strong community. As a Denver Public School, DLS offers the same supports as many other public schools, including special education services, school counselors, student supports, and a gifted and talented program.
DLS is a high-performing school in the DPS portfolio and we have been recognized with the Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award for exceptional student growth, and the John Irwin Award for exceptional academic achievement over time. Our middle school is a top ten middle school within the DPS portfolio.
In middle school, students have a wide variety of choices for electives. They can also participate in clubs and our international travel program, and have the opportunity to take the Advanced Placement exam in 8th grade. In addition, all 5-8th grade students participate in the Student Action Projects, which are focused on enriching student’s engagement, advocacy, and ownership over their learning.
Together with our Parent-Teacher Organization, DLS hosts many cultural events throughout the year, including a Night Market, an annual Chinese New Year Celebration, and a Dragon Boat team!
