Pillars of Personalized Learning

Blended Learning

Utilizing differentiated one-to-one lessons structured by internal staff, each student moves independently through the coursework receiving additional assistance or advanced learning opportunities when applicable. 

Enrichments Opportunities

Quarterly, students are provided with the opportunity to enroll in one enrichment class, exposing them to new interests or furthering their previous experiences in one or more of the five extended learning arenas.

Character development

By formally measuring the five BNS character traits on a regular basis, students are provided with ongoing feedback related to their growth and understanding in these important developmental areas.

Innovation Zone Advocacy

We need your help to educate our community and sustain and protect our Innovation Zones. The Denver Public School (DPS) Board will review and process the status of Innovation Zones in May 2021. This process could impact how our Denver Innovation Zone Schools create innovation plans, receive funding and resources for programming, curriculum, hiring and opportunities, and how much involvement that parents, teachers and
schools have in this process.
