• Why We Do What We Do •
provides a powerful education, one that values critical thinking and the joyful process of learning above test scores. We provide our children with the tools for understanding the intricacies and nuances of living in their own communities, their own global villages. Through the curriculum, students are encouraged to understand the importance of taking a responsible and purposeful place in their world. This experience provides a framework through which they can build an understanding of other cultures, and how other cultures deal with both opportunities and challenges.
ISB students engage in the community in many ways, including interviewing local business owners, participating in local park clean-up days, learning about the voting process, exploring architecture and investigating the community’s local flora and fauna. ISB students are encouraged to be global neighbors by becoming pen pals with children in “partner” schools in other countries and by donating school supplies and pocket money to primary schools in the developing world. Community awareness and civic engagement are understood worldwide and will truly prepare our students for the world that awaits them.
Our kids will grow up with a deep appreciation for diversity, an excellent ability to interact and communicate, a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of the disciplines, and a life-long approach to learning through inquiry. In order to do achieve these aims, we need to take the vital next step in building our children’s future with The ISB Expansion Campaign.
“This is the third year that both of our children have attended Spanish after school programs at ISB. We are thrilled with the experience. The teachers are really successful at making the learning of a language a fun, engaging activity, that embraces the diversity of the Spanish community.”
