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.
As a current junior that has gone to ISI since 1st grade, I have seen first-hand the way the school prepares a student for college and life itself. The full IB program is one of the best educations you can get. Although the IB is a pain in the butt, it offers an alternative approach to a standard public or private high school. One problem with ISI is that some classes are easier than others, although they count for the same credit. However, most teachers are very dedicated to their jobs and are teach very rigorous classes. Though, some are considered jokes among students for being idiots. The diversity at this school is amazing, I've gotten to meet people I would never have met otherwise. Because of the small class sizes, the community is very close. It also means you can't escape anyone. ISI doesn't do well when it comes to student-administration relations. Most of my peers resent them for treating us, teachers and parents like we're none the wiser, especially when money is involved.
