From Silicon Valley International School

Silicon Valley International School (INTL, pronounced “international”) provides a unique bilingual International Baccalaureate (IB) experience with Chinese, French, and German programs from preschool to 12th grade. For 1st-3rd graders, we have a Passport Program - an intensive dual-language track integrating new French or German learners into our acclaimed bilingual inquiry-based program. Starting in 6th grade, we also offer our Upper School Language Acquisition program for students with no prior bilingual immersion experience.

Founded in 1979, INTL is now known as the premiere bilingual IB World School on the West Coast. With over 40 years of bilingual immersion experience, INTL has combined the benefits of language immersion with the world-renowned IB. Our students embrace complexity, think critically from multiple perspectives, and demonstrate integrity and sensitivity across cultures.

INTL is an IB World School offering the Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programme.
