Mission
The International School of Boston (ISB) is an independent, non-profit, Preschool-12 French-English bilingual and international school located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in one of the most vibrant metropolitan areas in the United States. As a world-class, accredited academic institution, ISB places the development of the bilingual brain at the heart of its mission. ISB students graduate with an American high school diploma and choose between two internationally renowned diplomas, the French or the International Baccalaureate, giving them the opportunity to thrive at leading universities in the United States, France, and around the world. Offering a rich experience with rigorous programs, ISB prepares its students for a lifetime of learning and service.
The ISB Way
The ISB Way is our distinctive approach to engaging with our students, from Preschool (Maternelle) through Upper School.
In the ISB Way…
- Each student is continually challenged but unconditionally loved.
- Mastering a language other than one’s own is a way to find success and fulfillment in a global world.
- Differences in a student’s ethnicity or socioeconomic background are reasons for celebration, not alienation.
- Daily achievement is measured not only by test scores, but also by a student’s capacity to relate to other citizens of the world.
