Founded in 2018, KIPP Sunshine Peak Elementary is the only charter school in Southwest Denver offering a dual language education model. The Spanish World Language Program provides core content in English and electives in Spanish for those starting to learn Spanish. Alternatively, the One-Way Dual Language Program is for students with a Spanish language background, as they receive a majority of their content in Spanish. Our inclusive approach fosters relationships across cultures and ensures personalized support for all students. Our vision is driven by our five values: Love, Honor, Curiosity, Activism, and Growth. We are part of the KIPP Colorado Public Schools, a network of schools educating students in ECE through 12th grade. KIPP educators partner with students and families to provide rigorous academics, character growth, and extracurricular activities so that students can define their own future and develop a lifelong love of learning.
