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 had a wonderful experience at Izzie B!! We have two kids there, and have been so impressed with the community as a whole. Of course, I wish all public schools were adequately funded to ensure all schools receive the supports so that all students can thrive.
