About French Education in Denver & Colorado

Colorado’s 6 French-language schools run the length of the Front Range, from Fort Collins in the north to Colorado Springs in the south. The Denver metro accounts for 4: French American School of Denver (charter), Global Village Academy Aurora (charter), Global Village Academy Parker (charter), and International School of Denver (private). Together they serve the city’s tech and international communities east of the Rockies.

The Global Village Academy network is a notable feature of Colorado’s landscape: GVA operates charter campuses in Aurora and Parker with a dual language model — English paired with French, Spanish, or Mandarin at the student’s choice. The Denver metro has one of the higher concentrations of free French charter seats in the Mountain West.

Colorado Springs adds Academy International Elementary School (Academy School District 20), a public French immersion program about 70 miles south of Denver. Fort Collins, near Colorado State University, has AXIS International Academy — a charter school serving North Front Range families.

5 of 6 are free: Colorado’s Front Range has 4 charters and 1 public program, making it one of the more accessible Mountain West markets for tuition-free French immersion. The only private school is International School of Denver in the city center.
