Welcome to Whittier International School

Where the world meets in the heart of Boulder

Presently attended by children from 29 different countries, speaking 19 different languages.

Built in 1882, Whittier is a designated Historic Landmark, Colorado's oldest continuously operating school. The original Pine Street School was renamed for poet John Greenleaf Whittier, after he wrote back to student Effie Titus, an early Boulder 6th grader, who was in love with his poem, "Snowbound."

The vision for Whittier International is to use our creativity, enthusiasm, and empathy to inspire and empower students in becoming confident, respectful, and inquiring global citizens.

 The Boulder Valley School District partners with community schools to offer a half-day optional, fee-based childcare program (K-CARE) in addition to the half-day kindergarten program. K-CARE is available in elementary schools for kindergartners needing care for the rest of the school day. K-CARE compliments the school programs and is consistent with the guidelines of a developmentally appropriate curriculum.
If you are interested in this service, you can sign-up at the school office.
