Denver Center For International Studies, Denver | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I have officially been at Denver center for international studies for three years and I only have love for this school. The climate is so friendly. The teachers are so kind (except for the French teacher, sadly, but hopefully we’ll get a new French teacher soon). Personally I believe I would not have been able to make it through middle school without some of my teachers. The teachers want you to thrive and they know what’s best for you. Now for the students at the school, they’re also great. Don’t get me wrong all schools have their bad apples but at DCIS the “bad apples” don’t distract from the truley friendly climate of DCIS. I have made so many friends throughout my three years and I would say there’s not really any cliques at DCIS, which I’m so thankful for because at my elementary school there were a ton. Also, parents, if you have a concern about your middle schooler being at a school with high schoolers there’s nothing to worry about. I have made so many good friends ranging from 6th graders to seniors. Now overall if your child wants to go to a big school I would not reccomend DCIS for them but for kids who like smaller schools or don’t have a preference I highly recommend DCIS, it’s a truley caring, diverse and inclusive school! (By the way travel options here are great!)
