Established in 2005,Colorado International School (CoIS) is a private non-profit international school born out of the experiences of many families who seek an innovative way to educate their children in a multinational and multilingual school environment which integrates the national curricula of diverse countries.
CoIS is an American-International immersion school which serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grades, ages 3-14 in Spanish, Mandarin, German, French, and English, as well as Enrichment Program languages in Farsi, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, and Italian. These early years are the “critical periods for language development” as described by many child development psychologists and linguists. This means that children can absorb any set of sounds associated with languages in a natural and contextual way, without limitations, and without significant effort. Students can develop any number of languages easily during these formative years, and will speak them with perfect native pronunciation. This “window for language development” is relatively short, and so CoIS takes full advantage of its nature by offering full immersion programs for students as young as age three. CoIS offers an American-International curriculum, culture and history, which provides inquiry-based, experiential learning environments that facilitate superior education in English and chosen world languages, through reading, writing, math, science, social studies, geography, art, music, technology and physical education.
Colorado International School is a candidate school to implement the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB/PYP). The Schol’s integrated curriculum highly effective in delivering extraordinary academic standards while developing a world perspective in all of its students. The School also incorporates the standards of learning outlined by the Colorado State Department of Education, thereby ensuring all of its students high achievement in examinations and standardized tests.
Colorado International School provides an innovative-international education and promotes a sense of global citizenship for its Students!
