School Tours

DPS recently announced the creation of the Central East Elementary Zone, which will include Denver Green School - Southeast. We are excited that many more students will have access to our program, and we invite interested families to schedule a tour to learn more about us. If you have questions about School Choice or how the enrollment zone will work, please contact DPS School Choice.

We will hold tours on Wednesday from 10:00 - 11:00 am starting on December 11. We will hold virtual information meetings from 5:30 - 6:30 pm on December 11, January 8, January 22, and February 5. Please sign up by 12pm on the day before the visit so that we can ensure that there are enough staff members available to welcome you.

About DGS

Denver Green School - Southeast is a K-8 program in the Virginia Vale neighborhood. We are proud of our "hands-on, brains-on" approach to learning where students get outside the classroom and bring learning to life and how our students have demonstrated their learning. For the past ten years, we have received a “Green” Performance Rating on the State Performance Framework. In 2022, Denver Green School - Southeast was named a Whole Child Distinguished School for providing equitable and inclusive environments where students are healthy, supported, engaged, challenged, safe, and socially and emotionally intelligent.

Here are some highlights of what students experience:

• On-sight farm run by Sprout City farms that provides opportunities for students to get their hands dirty while learning about local food production. 

• An excursion program to get schools out in the community to learn. Just this year, students at various grades have gone to the symphony, Red Rocks, the library, grocery stores, and various museums. 

• Challenge programming made possible by having double the staff time normally allocated to Gifted and Talented programming in DPS. See more details here.

• Personalized instructional time is provided for 45 minutes daily four times a week. A team of specialists work with a single grade level to provide focused instruction for all students. We maintain a full time reading interventionist and math interventionist, as well as special education and multilingual education teachers. 

• Rigorous curriculum, including two reading programs that reflect science of reading: CKLA for reading comprehension and Orton-Gillingham for foundational reading skills. In math, we are leading the district in implementing a problem based curriculum in K-5. Additionally, each grade works to integrate themes of sustainability through literacy, science, and social studies programming. 

Please note that you must first participate in the Choice Process, then later at the end of summer you complete registration.
