    From International School of Indiana

    The Midwest's most distinct academics are the particular ISI combination of the world's "gold-standard" curriculum, the International Baccalaureate, which all of our students complete, and the state of Indiana's only full language immersion program that features three language-track options - French, Mandarin, and Spanish - for students starting at 3 years old as well as English as a Second Language (EAL) support for international students in all grades.

    With few rivals to our curricular approach nationwide, ISI is uniquely positioned to help students age 3 to grade 12 be Ready for the World Stage. No previous language studies are required for enrollment.

      The International School of Indiana has been a big part of my life. I grew up in that school and never left. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a new language from a young and continue with it into college. I am so grateful my parents put me in this school at the elementary level because now, I am fluent in French! I'm so excited that they have taught me how to approach and love others no matter what their race, gender, nationality or whatever it may be. The college counselors are incredible and start your child to be college ready their freshman year. The school overall has really strong arts and science departments, which is something they are not commonly known for. The teacher to student connection is incredible. The faculty are incredibly kind.

      The majority of teachers are wonderful and devoted, though there are a few who are completely mailing it in (and everyone seems to know and accept this for certain grades). The administration is a disaster, and honestly the key element holding the school back from being what it could be. Once a few key relics who have been hanging on since the early days and are essentially just waiting out the retirement clock finally cash out we can hopefully find a way to replace them with people who know what they are doing, show up to work most days, and are interested in not just chugging along on the easiest path, but pushing to make the school as great as it could be! Also, the "only twenty years old" excuse is wearing thin... it's actually kind of a long time in the scheme of establishing private schools in terms of their relative successes and resulting financial solvency.
      I started going to ISI in the 3yr old program in 2008. I have only gone to ISI but, having friends who have been or moved to a different school, I can say the food is supposedly much better and less homework than other schools.

      My experience from the start to grade 6 was really good. My 7th-grade experience and on hasn't been the best. The first semester of grade 7 was normal but, as time went on everything felt a lot more stressful. I usually enjoyed going to school and not Summer break but, this year it was the opposite. Then my 8th-grade year started this year. Everything feels really boring.

      I think ISI is overall great but, the elementary program and the middle year's program are most likely better than high school. My brother, who is in his first year of college after going to ISI for 15 years, recommends going to a different high school, as he regrets not taking his chance to go to a different high school.
