At the International Academy of Denver, where expectations are high and excellence is expected, we commit to cultivating a safe, creative learning community that fosters self-determination, collaboration, and student voice while celebrating our diversity, unique talents, and achievements.

Mission

​

The International Academy of Denver is a professional setting for inquiry and learning for educators. Through collaboration, teamwork, and relentless commitment to high expectations and personal responsibility, our teachers and all team members model lifelong learning, compassion, and commitment to teaching, learning, our students and their families.

The International Academy of Denver nurtures inquiring, knowledgeable and compassionate students who create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. Our students appreciate their own cultures and others, and develop the critical thinking skills necessary to evaluate various perspectives.

The International Academy of Denver offers rigorous, inquiry-based learning experiences to develop and ensure that our students develop strong values, academic mindsets and skills necessary to become lifelong learners who are socially conscious and internationally minded.

Together we develop joyful, curious learners who achieve academically and contribute to their communities and our world.
