Estableciendo las bases para cambios fundamentales

Jetant les fondations du changement

At International School of Brooklyn, we believe diversity, equity, and inclusion work is essential to creating an affirming and dynamic learning environment where all students can thrive socially and academically.

Our language immersion model and International Baccalaureate curriculum align organically with our investment in DEI work. We recognize and value multilingualism as the most direct connection to other cultures and see our students’ language learning as a natural way for them to develop empathy and open-mindedness. Learning French and Spanish – world languages spoken across the globe – allows our students access to diverse points of view and is key to their evolution as global citizens who embrace and appreciate the traditions and values of others. The IB’s inquiry-based approach to teaching encourages students to seek a greater understanding of historical truths in order to inform their roles as advocates and changemakers in the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality.

The work of justice is everyone’s responsibility, and ISB’s school culture, core values, and curricula center on this principle. Students, families, faculty, staff, and administrators engage and actively participate in strategizing about the remediation of society’s most challenging and intergenerational inequities. As the world continues to evolve, our approach to education around these issues evolves with it; we teach and learn together.
