Here at ISB, we are a school that lives and breathes its Mission. Equipping our students with the ability to speak multiple languages fluently and develop critical thinking skills within the context of international mindedness is a purposeful, daily experience. We provide our students with the essential tools to be prepared for university and have a real and meaningful impact on the world they will inherit. Our Core Values underscore a deep commitment to an inclusive environment where we embrace the notion that everyone brings value and deserves our care and respect. ISB is a school that develops thoughtful, reflective, and authentic individuals who can think independently and autonomously through the lens of an interconnected and international perspective, something the world needs more than ever. Our bilingual program, highly respected French and International Baccalaureates, and an array of Arts, Athletics, and Travel opportunities underscore our holistic approach to student development as well as prepare our students to be part of something bigger than themselves, make a difference and help the world be a better place.
The International School of Boston opens a world of possibilities for students from Preschool through grade 12 by providing the rigorous bilingual French-American education, inclusive cultural experiences, and global mindset needed to learn and lead, today and in the future. The Benefits of an ISB Education:
- We immerse students in a dynamic learning environment where classes are taught in French and English, forever opening their minds to the ideas, insights, and innovations of peoples, countries, and societies far different from their own.
- As ISB students make their way between classes each day, our hallways ring with greetings of students from about 50 countries, a reminder of your child’s once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet, learn alongside and befriend students from around the world.
- At ISB, your child will acquire and refine the critical-thinking skills necessary to make sound decisions, the intellect to navigate different languages, and the social awareness to understand diverse cultures.
- Combining the renowned and demanding French curriculum with the excellence of the American educational system, our programs ensure your child will thrive at the next level, whether that is at ISB’s Upper School, an American school, a Lycée in France, or a university in North America or Europe.
- Beyond an American high school diploma, each ISB Upper School student also graduates with a French Baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate.
Our Mission is to shape lifelong achievers who can speak and think in multiple languages and who can apply their knowledge anywhere in the world. Our distinctive bilingual curriculum is rooted in the rigor and creativity of the French and American academic traditions. We inspire our diverse international student body to pursue academic excellence, and we prepare our graduates to thrive at the world’s best universities. The ISB Way is our distinctive approach to engaging with our students, from Preschool (Maternelle) through Upper School.
Every student at ISB has the right to feel safe in the school environment and the right to access counseling support. School counseling services support students’ social and emotional well-being and are offered individually, in small groups, and the classroom. Parents and teachers can also consult with the school counselor to best support students at home and school.
