Description

NOTE: 7TH & 9TH GRADES OPENING FALL 2011. This program is modeled closely after the Denver School of Science and Technology's first middle school in Stapleton which was the highest performing middle school in Denver Public Schools last year. The DSST Green Valley Ranch campus has a college preparatory focus and an emphasis on developing core liberal arts skills (reading, writing, mathematics) with a focus on the life and health sciences. This program prepares students for the rigorous high school program at DSST GVR Campus, acceptance to a four year college, and a future professional career in the health and life sciences if a student chooses.

Students will succeed through a highly structured classroom and school environment with clear academic expectations and values-centered school community. The core values – respect, responsibility, curiosity, courage, integrity and doing your best – form the heart of DSST GVR Campus community. The DSST GVR Campus is committed to maintaining high academic and behavioral standards and holding students accountable to meeting those standards. At the same time, the DSST GVR Campus will provide each student with the support and care they need to fulfill those standards.
