L'Ecole De Denver

L’Ecole de Denver aims to develop “enlightened” students—well-informed, well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate—through a uniquely designed bilingual program in which children learn to think and engage with the world through two languages and cultures. The school blends the structure and rigor of the French educational system with the flexibility and creativity of the American system, offering native-speaking teachers and a curriculum that integrates core academics plus character and cultural enrichment in both French and English. Instruction is delivered through intimate classroom settings and experiential learning in the wider Denver community, using both traditional and technology-based techniques to engage and challenge students.
