ISD welcomes students as young as three years old and continues through 8th grade. Our inclusive, globally minded community develops highly motivated, academically successful and inter-culturally adept bilingual learners. ISD students engage purposefully and make positive contributions in a complex world. ISD focuses on the benefits of the bilingual brain, by taking advantage of the narrow window in which children are best able to learn a second language. Our preschool through 5th grade programs offer immersion in French, Mandarin or Spanish to families representing more than 50 nationalities. Our pre-K- 5th grade learners follow a rigorous, broad and balanced curriculum, based on the national standards and benchmarks from accrediting agencies of France, China and Spain, as well as Colorado State Standards. Our teachers are native speakers of the languages, giving the learners an authentic bicultural as well as bilingual education. This curriculum provides a perfect foundation for their entry into the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP). Within the MYP structure, we continue to focus strongly on the development of bilingualism, capitalise on the students' broad knowledge base, and help them apply their diverse approaches to learning to global contexts. As a three-year MYP school, our culminating work is evidenced by both the Community Project and a service learning trip to Costa Rica. Our 8th grade students are well prepared to meet the challenges of high school, and 87% of them are admitted to their high school of choice, with many electing to continue their education at a local IB World School. We are also in the expansion stages of our Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Music, and Math (STEAM) programs, representing the purposeful integration of creative thinking and design skills to help bring traditional studies into real-world lessons and solutions. With expanded design labs, art spaces and the latest in educational technology, ISD is at the forefront of the STEAM movement and its foundation in interdisciplinary learning. | ||||||||||||||||||
