The International School was founded in 1990 with a mission to: Provide children with a comprehensive and challenging education in which fluency in more than one language is central to development. Encourage children to be culturally aware, responsible, and productive citizens of a diverse and increasingly interdependent world. To fulfill this mission, we provide a multicultural environment where children are fully immersed in Spanish, Japanese or Chinese language and culture. Children become bilingual as they learn a full American curriculum with native speaking teachers, small classes, and high expectations.
