DENISON MONTESSORI SCHOOL

DENISON MONTESSORI SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the School District No. 1 in the county of Denver and State of C school district, located in DENVER, CO with about 402 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, DENISON MONTESSORI SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

DENISON MONTESSORI SCHOOL, located in the Harvey Park neighborhood of Denver, is a public school within the Denver Public Schools (DPS) district that serves students from ECE-3 through 5th grade. As a dedicated Montessori institution, it emphasizes a child-centered approach to learning, focusing on fostering independence, self-motivation, and academic curiosity within prepared classroom environments. The school is known for its multi-age groupings, which allow students to learn at their own pace while developing strong social-emotional skills and a sense of community.

Beyond the core Montessori curriculum, Denison places a high value on diversity, inclusivity, and the development of the "whole child." The school’s programming encourages hands-on exploration and critical thinking, supported by materials and instructional methods designed to build a strong foundation in core subjects like mathematics, literacy, and cultural studies. By prioritizing a collaborative environment that bridges home and school, Denison Montessori strives to cultivate lifelong learners who are prepared for success in their future academic endeavors.
