About Denver Language School

Denver Language School is the only K-8 public school in Denver offering Spanish and Mandarin immersion. This distinctive characteristic not only sets our school apart, but also shows DLS’s commitment to providing students with a diverse and globally-oriented education. Being the sole K-8 immersion public school in Spanish and Mandarin in Denver allows us to offer students a truly immersive language experience from an early age. Research has consistently shown the cognitive and academic benefits of bilingualism, such as enhanced problem-solving skills, improved cognitive flexibility, and a deeper understanding of different cultures. Denver Language School's emphasis on language immersion not only enriches the educational journey of its students, but also equips them with practical skills that are highly relevant in today’s modern society. Beyond the academic benefits, our focus on language immersion serves a larger societal purpose. In a world where understanding and appreciating different cultures is crucial, bilingual education fosters cultural empathy and open-mindedness. Students at Denver Language School not only become proficient in two languages, but also gain insights into the traditions, histories, and perspectives of the teaching staff who hail from a wide-array of Spanish and Mandarin speaking backgrounds.
