A MESSAGE FROM:

Downtown Denver Expeditionary School

2025-2026

Downtown Denver Expeditionary School (DDES) is an Expeditionary Learning (EL) school located in downtown Denver serving students in grades K-5. Our mission at DDES is to richly implement the core principles, practices and curriculum of EL Education in order to offer a diverse, caring, and collaborative learning environment. We will employ the rich resources of our Denver urban community to enable all students to achieve academic and personal excellence in order to become responsible citizens. In… 2024-2025, DDES enrolled approximately 262 students in grades K-5. Approximately 34% of DDES students qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch program, 49% are students of color, 2% are Multi-Language Learners, and 17% are students with disabilities. At DDES, we are dedicated to fully embracing and executing EL Education?s expanded definition of achievement. Through a commitment to continuous learning, staff members at DDES create learning activities that promote student growth and achievement on traditional measures, support students to create high quality work, and promote the development of both relational and performance character. When a DDES student takes the next academic step, he or she will have demonstrated mastery of common core standards, articulated the steps he or she took as a learner to address challenges, created professional products to impact the world, and reflected on his or her growth as a member of the community. We create curriculum (Expeditions) that connects learning to real-world issues and needs. Academically rigorous, project-based learning expeditions, case studies, projects, fieldwork, and service learning inspire students to think and work as professionals, contributing high-quality work to authentic audiences beyond the classroom whenever possible.
