Denver Center for International Studies (DCIS) at Fairmont is an international school and a dual language immersion and STEM option elementary school located in the heart of Baker. Here we focus on growing not only the academic skills but also the social-emotional and global perspectives of our students through international studies, local travel, and service learning. We serve students in ECE through fifth-grade in both English and Spanish Dual Language Immersion and value diversity, multiculturalism, multilingualism and mindfulness. DCIS at Fairmont strives to provide students with the skills and mindsets needed to lead in their community and to follow their passions. We offer fee-based before- and after-school care through Discovery Link programming and enrichments by ELCS.
