Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Inquire and visit. ISDenver accepts rolling admissions and has space available in some programs. Complete the inquiry form to begin the application process and sign up for a campus tour. Tours and open houses help families learn about the bilingual IB model and classroom life.
2. Check eligibility and language tracks. Children applying to K1 must be 3 years old by October 1 of the enrollment year. ISDenver offers Early Childhood Education (K1–K3), Primary, Middle School, and High School with language tracks in French, Spanish, or Chinese; space varies by program and language background. ISDenver welcomes applications to the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) (upon authorization).
3. Submit the application and deadlines. Admissions applications for the following academic year are due January 31. Rolling admissions are available where space permits. Financial Assistance applications for new families are also due January 31 for the following academic year.
4. Receive admissions decisions. Decisions are shared for Middle School at the end of February and for Early Childhood and Primary School in early March. If admitted, families proceed with enrollment steps.
5. Waitlists and enrollment policy. ISDenver does not hold a waitlist from year to year, and you cannot apply multiple years in advance or hold a spot. Tours are part of the application process.
6. Open houses and campus visits. Open houses are conducted for the 2026-27 school year. Contact ISDenver to schedule a tour and/or a shadow day for your child. These visits provide insight into the school's bilingual and IB offerings.
ISDenver does not maintain a year-to-year waitlist; you cannot apply multiple years in advance or hold a place in line.

It offers the International Baccalaureate continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) alongside a bilingual framework aligned with French and Indian curricula. The Primary Years Programme is delivered in English and Spanish; the Diploma Programme is taught in English and French.

A Chinese language program is integrated in the Middle Years, complemented by additional language offerings and international trips. ISDenver maintains a Section française and is a partner in the AEFE network. The PreK–G8 campus at 7701 East First Place, Unit C, and the High School Campus at 458 Uinta Way are equipped with libraries, gymnasia, and fields. The school emphasizes service learning, after-school clubs in robotics, drama, and third-language study, and international journeys if applicable for students over various grades.
