What school district is Denver Language School part of?
DLS has been a fantastic school for my children. They've flourished and acquired language skills in their target language without sacrificing English literacy. While they have a middle school program, a majority of families do leave for other schools after fifth grade. I believe that this is due to several factors including not having a large enough facility to house K-8 comfortably. They are well aware that this is an issue for parents and are actively seeking a permanent solution. Unfortunately, this might be a long game. Also, since most families leave, class sizes in the middle school are tiny, which limits social opportunities. Another issue is not having a robust enough middle school program. Parents want STEAM and they want their kids to be challenged in those disciplines. Families are in the unfortunate position of having to choose between a more academically diverse education and language immersion. Middle schools in the area can only offer a world language class twice a week at best, which means that many DLS students will be losing the language skills that they worked so hard to acquire. We haven't decided what we will do when we reach the middle school years just yet, but it's heavy on our minds.
