Our Mission

The BCSIS approach is inspired by the work of several leading educators and a variety of methods, including:

• Arts-integrated education

• The multiple intelligences (Howard Gardner) and other applications of multi-dimensional whole brain/body learning

• Waldorf schooling (Rudolf Steiner)

• The student-initiated project-learning approach of integrated day programs

• An understanding of diversity and multiculturalism

• The skill-building techniques of traditional Western education

Why Choose BCSIS?

A strong, multi-cultural curriculum creates many learning dimensions that allow our students to find their interests and strengths.

• Our unique learning approach includes a “looping” model. Students remain with the same teacher and peer group for two year periods: kindergarten to first; second to third; and fourth to fifth. This model allows for deeper community-building and relationships to develop over a longer period of time.

• Our teachers value their own growth and professional development.

• A full English as a Second Language academic program.

We are recognized as a school of excellence by the Colorado Alliance for the Arts in Education, and a recipient of the John Irvin Award for Excellence.

• Our students experience academic rigor through the implementation of Multiple Intelligences and Arts Integration.
