DCIS is a Denver Public Schools (DPS) magnet middle and high school in the Baker neighborhood of Denver that has garnered state and national recognition. All of our students have the opportunity to become proficient in one of six languages and to learn about and experience different cultures. Our unique curriculum enables DCIS to graduate global citizens who are multilingual and inter-culturally competent. We are proud of our students' community-building skills, and of their drive to serve others through taking action for positive change in the world. DCIS is deeply committed to creating a space where Native American and Indigenous Students and Families thrive, feel seen and valued for who they are. We want to be a space where their knowledge, wisdom and ways of being are centered; where we resist and counteract the values of settler colonialism and celebrate and promote traditional Native American and Indigenous values, virtues and beliefs. Students will leave DCIS with a strong knowledge of self, culture, and community ready to fulfill their purpose. There are dedicated counselors, spaces, and community partnerships to support our Native and Indigenous students, while staff is trained through professional development courses on how to serve Native and Indigenous youth.
