Denison Elementary School

School Description

As a DPS magnet school, Denison Montessori has been providing quality education to children from throughout the Denver area since August 1996. Denison's students are ethnically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse, and standardized test scores are consistently among the highest in DPS. Denison is widely considered to be a national model for public Montessori education.

Considering the severe site conditions, the design concept is driven by the need for a varied playground experience where students can independently explore new spaces just as they independently unfold topics of interest in the classroom.
