I started teaching at The International School of Minnesota 3 years ago, knowing very little about the school.
Within a few weeks it became very clear that ISM is a very special community.
The teachers are all among the most dedicated, knowledgable and competent instructors I have known. And I have known many instructors during my 30 year teaching career.
The students, from pre k to 12th grade, are a joy to be around. They are happy, motivated, occasionally silly, and always brilliant. The ethnic diversity of the teachers and students makes ISM a little world unto itself. Walking down the halls I hear conversations in Spanish, English, French, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Azerbaijani.
The parents are supportive and involved, as is the school administration.
The facilities include a new science wing, new early childhood rooms, remodeled cafeteria, and new fitness room. Arrays of solar cells help ISM stay green.
ISM has an amazing music and arts program.
ISM is The Best!

I love the school for all of its charms! I have been going here for 15 years and I've seen ISM really transform into the community it is tomorrow. The teachers are wonderful and the student body is very focused and academic, despite what they may say sometimes. The school has been struggling a bit with the teacher and student retention, but the marketing team and administration are working pretty hard to combat this. Great school for college-bound students.
The International School of Minnesota (ISM) is a very diverse, open and academically challenging school to attend. With a strong student life organization that connects the whole community in various different events to the amazing performing arts and academics of this school, it truly has been an amazing experience. There are students from all around the world which gives the school a chance to shine and explore new cultures. The close-knit community forms into a family between all the people there. It has an excellent performing arts and academic program with the majority of students excelling in both. The school is quite small, has a decent athletics program and sometimes it's hard to branch out and try new things as opportunities can be limited at times.
