Enrollment + DPS School Choice
​
We are a tuition-free public charter school authorized by Denver Public Schools, open to students from Denver and surrounding cities.
​
Our school serves Kindergarten through 5th Grade (K-5).​
HOW TO ENROLL
We are a Denver Public Schools (DPS) Charter Elementary School. Families from both Denver and surrounding cities can enroll in our school by using the DPS School Choice process.
​
DPS School Choice Round 2 is open now through Aug 29th. If your student would still like to join our school, please enroll during Round 2!
​​
THE DPS SCHOOL CHOICE PROCESS
For all new students (including siblings of existing students), you will use the Denver Public School unified one-application, one-deadline system called DPS SchoolChoice which has helped simplify enrollment for families, and ensures your child an equitable chance at being able to enroll in our school. Language and Immersion schools tend to fill available spots very quickly, so don't miss your chance!

EARLY LEARNING RESOURCES
- L’Ecole de Denver: Located just 10 minutes from FASD, and one block from Cheeseman Park, L’École de Denver provides bilingual preschool education to children 2.5-5 years of age. The unique educational experience allows students to learn two languages and two cultures simultaneously. Taught by French speakers with native fluency, the curriculum incorporates the structure and rigor of the French educational system as well as the flexibility and creativity of the American system. Students who graduate from L’Ecole are uniquely prepared for the transition to Kindergarten at FASD, should they choose to continue their French education. L’École offers tours on a regular basis, and is currently enrolling for the 2025-2026 school year. Visit ecoledenver.com to learn more today!
- Alliance Française de Denver: The Alliance Française de Denver (AFD) is dedicated to promoting and celebrating French language, culture, and the diverse Francophone world. As Colorado’s premier French cultural center, AFD offers language classes, cultural events, and community programs that connect people through the arts, film, literature, and more. Committed to inclusivity, AFD provides a welcoming space where all can engage with French culture while supporting emerging artists and diverse voices. Through education, outreach, and collaboration, AFD fosters cross-cultural understanding and enriches Denver’s multicultural landscape.
Early exposure to a second language capitalizes on a child’s innate language-learning abilities, natural enthusiasm, and curiosity for learning.
