The community school of Isabella Bird, home of the dragons, was founded by Sonny Zinn, and Traci and Jeff Bushnell in 2013. The school is named after the English explorer, author, and naturalist Isabella Lucy Bird and is part of the Denver Public School system, serving early childhood education students through fifth grade. Bird traveled the globe three times with 800 miles on horseback through the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The hope in the community school’s name is to inspire future dreamers and explorers. Isabella Bird Community School is granted innovative status, which allows them opportunities that are not granted in other traditional schools. Meaning, freedom of choice in curriculum design and a school council made up of parents, teachers, and community leaders. Courses and programs offered at Isabella Bird include multilingual education, gifted and talented programs, special education, art and music, and physical education. At Isabella Bird, also referred to as Izzi B, every grade level focuses on different real-world academic content, including beginning development, communication, systems, relationships, perspectives, cause and effect, and transformations. With Izzi B’s curriculum, every student learns to make connections, think critically, deal with complex texts and ideas, and resonate with the significance of what they learn.

We have a kindergarten currently at Izzi B and have been very impressed by the communication from the staff and PTCO on the events, activities and classroom learning.

Our family has had an excellent experience with Izzi B. Yes, we have a HGT learner but also a kiddo who is not identified as GT but still wonderfully supported- both academically and emotionally. Wonderful and caring staff and fantastic family engagement.
