Read what parents are saying about Swigert International SchoolI came to this school from a school that had been so hateful towards me and I felt such a difference. I love this school so much. The Principal Shelly Dennis is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I have some special needs and all the teachers were so kind to me and helpful about that. I never ever felt like I was being bullied. They teach their students to always be kind through the IB program.
Posted by a community member on 3/10/2021We are so grateful to be a part of the Swigert community. The leadership, staff and teachers are honestly top notch.
Posted by a parent on 2/23/2019My children have attended Swigert since it opened. It's an incredible school. It offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program, which is an inquiry-based approach to education. There are six interdisciplinary IB themes taught each year (3 science, 3 social studies) that build from year to year. Swigert has other exceptional programs, like weekly Spanish and technology classes and Explorations (electives taught by parents/teachers). Children love getting to pursue interests not typically offered in schools. Teachers are highly qualified and well supported. There s a wonderful GT/HGT specialist and several talented teacher coaches. The administration is passionate and hard-working. Parents are very active--volunteering, starting a community garden with a curriculum for each grade, organizing musicals, teaching Explorations classes, raising funds, etc. When the school opened, it strived to do what was best for children--to teach the whole child through inquiry in an engaging/challenging environment. Fortunately, it also turns out that students are high-performing, as Swigert is the #1 elementary school in DPS (according to SPF scores).
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2015Swigert International School offers an IB program, Singapore Math, and has an amazing family community that financially supports programs such as Spanish language instruction and paraprofessional aides. Art, music, and PE are a part of every week. It is a newer school and the information here isn't up to date, but check out their website and the Swigert PTA website as well for more information.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is my family's fifth year at Hallett, and we love it! Principal Jefferson leads with love, and it is echoed in every member of the faculty and staff. The children here know that they are valued and respected, and this foundation makes it possible for them to leap into their learning! As a low-income parent, I've never been made to feel like my children deserved any less than any other child. My children are Black, and were not being served well by other schools in the Denver community, and not only are they happier at Hallett, but that joy is reflected in every area of their learning and growth.Parent Review3mo ago - Smith Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy two oldest children completed K-5 at Westerly, and my youngest is currently in 2nd grade. We feel so lucky to have been a part of this wonderful school community. The teachers and administration go above and beyond to make every day special and fun for all students. Academically all of my children have excelled and were more than prepared for middle school. It truly is a special school and community.Parent Review3mo ago - William (Bill) Roberts K-8 School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBill Roberts is an amazing school! We have had the best experience thus far. The teachers are caring and so many of them have been at the school since it's beginning. The administration is dedicated and listens to the students and parents. The parent community is connected and very involved in the school. The academics are outstanding and the school has solid support for ISL, Special Education, Intervention and Gifted & Talented. The specials are amazing, library each week, good food and great facilities. Both my kids (2nd, 5th) have enjoyed every minute here!Parent Review1y ago - Primrose School At Stapleton
