French and Spanish Language Programs.Start Your Child on a Path to Success with a Bilingual Education.
The first steps are understanding the target language, and then moving to the use of the language during everyday activities. Our PK1 through PK4 classes are full immersion in the target language.
Our program sets the foundations for reading, writing, and problem-solving. The skills acquired are gross and fine motor development and the ability to concentrate, to control behavior, to analyze, to communicate, and to socialize. We feel that the early years should be positive and fun, while enriching children’s knowledge and understanding of the world and their place in it. We see parents as important partners in this effort.
Following the European Curriculum, the Lower School includes Grades K to 5 – which corresponds respectively to “Grande Section, CP, CE1, CE2, CM1, and CM2” in the French system and “Preprimaria, Primer, Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto y Quinto Grados” in the Spanish system.
Our new International Program is opening in 2022-2023 for incoming 6th and 7th graders. The program will offer advanced core curriculum subjects and the acquisition of French or Spanish. Students will benefit from an international environment with small class sizes that allow ample opportunity to participate and benefit from a personalized education plan.
Our French and Spanish Bilingual Programs are designed to achieve complete fluency. Students are studying core subjects in both the target language and in English, preparing them to attend the best college preparatory high schools in the US or abroad.
Our school gives students the opportunity to learn robotics, speak in public, work in groups for collaborative learning and develop strong critical thinking skills within the challenging and engaging curriculum.
The Personal Inquiry Project (PIP) is an interdisciplinary unit and encourages students to research a subject of their choice. They need to develop and apply their analytical and communication skills. It is a great preparation for higher education assignments.
Students have the opportunity to join the ISA Student Council, focusing on social justice movements and charity projects.
Our mission is not only to teach our students academics but also to develop attributes that we call the ” ISA Portrait of a Graduate”.
