“Like most parents, nothing is more precious to me than my children. My wife and I explored many possible schools, public and private, for our children in every corner of the New Orleans area. By far one of the most impressive schools was the International School of Louisiana.”

Mission

100_1350The Vision

The International School of Louisiana (ISL) was founded in 2000 by a group of parents eager to make a contribution toward improving the quality of public education in Louisiana. The school’s founders envisioned a public school offering a foreign language-based academic program with a global perspective. By offering a new choice in public education, ISL hopes to generate educational opportunities of the highest caliber for all students in Louisiana.

The Program:

  • A challenging Kindergarten-8th grade academic program
  • Full language immersion in French or Spanish
  • Introduction of Chinese Language Arts in Middle School
  • Limited English language instruction
  • Music, art, physical education and after school enrichment program

The Benefits:

  • Fluency in a second language
  • High academic achievement
  • Increased mental flexibility and critical thinking ability
  • Emphasis on awareness of the global community and respect for the variety of peoples and cultures
  • Stronger science, math and problem solving skills
