Accreditation

ISB is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS) and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).

ISB is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School authorized for the Primary Years Program (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP). Learn more about the IB at ISB here.

In addition to ISB's accreditation by NYSAIS and the IBO, our Pre-K 3 through 3rd Grade program is accredited by the French Ministry of Education, and our Pre-K 3 through 8th Grade program is accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Education.

ISB students are exposed to the core elements of these international educational systems, while incorporating New York State educational standards and learning through the inquiry-based methodology and global context of the IB. Students in both tracks acquire language in a cultural and historical context, from native speakers, allowing them to develop both linguistic and cultural fluency.
