Denny International Middle School is a middle school in West Seattle, the southwest portion of Seattle, Washington. Operated by Seattle Public Schools, Denny Middle School opened in 1952. It is named for David T. Denny, one of Seattle’s early settlers and an early member of the Seattle School Board. The school was previously known as Denny Junior High School. The school shares a campus with Chief Sealth International High School.

One of Denny International Middle School’s many assets is its cultural diversity. Exploratory classes include Spanish, Proyecto Saber (Spanish for "Project: To Know"), Mandarin Chinese, mariachi band, steel drums and world music choir. Other musical opportunities include marching band, jazz band and orchestra. Partnerships with the Seattle Repertory Theatre and Paramount Theatre and a dynamic visual arts program provide multiple opportunities for students to develop their artistic talents.
Denny and Chief Sealth International High School faculty members collaborate to plan curriculum that will prepare all students to meet the academic challenges that Chief Sealth’s International Baccalaureate program provides.
In September, 2011 the school was relocated from its original location at 8401 SW 30th Street to the nearby campus of Chief Sealth International High School.[2] Both schools remain distinct within the shared facility, although some spaces such as the renovated CSIHS auditorium and the new Galleria are shared between the schools.[3] The design of the renovation and expansion was undertaken by Bassetti Architects of Seattle. The school remains in close proximity to the Southwest Athletic Complex, which features a 4000-seat outdoor stadium, and a community center and pool operated by the City of Seattle.
