Whiteman Campus - Kindergarten to 4th Grade

  • Kindergarten to 2nd Grade: 90% target language (Mandarin or Spanish), 10% English during specials rotation.

  • 3rd to 4th Grade: 80% target language, 20% English during English language arts and a daily specials rotation.

  • Curriculum is aligned with the Colorado State Standards and the Common Core National Standards scope and sequence.

  • English language arts instruction beings in 3rd grade.

  • Students applying to DLS 2nd grade and above must pass a language proficiency assessment in the target language.

In Elementary School at DLS students will demonstrate proficiency and comprehension skills that are comparable to those of native speakers the same age.  However, continued participation in an immersion program through middle school is necessary to allow the student to achieve the same grammatical accuracy, variety and complexity produced by native speakers.

Specials

Denver Language School offers art, music, physical education, and innovation lab classes for grades K-4.

Whole Child

DLS provides students with academically rigorous curricula, leadership skills, and intercultural competencies. We also incorporate the Whole Child Approach to education because we believe every child deserves to be healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
