Why ISB

Immersed in Possibilities

When you go to school immersed in the once-in-a-lifetime possibilities of a global, multilingual education, you launch into the world ready to learn anything, connect with anyone, and be exceptional anywhere.  

At the International School of Boston, we inspire students to see the world as a place of infinite opportunity—one where friendships span continents, conversations flow naturally across languages, goals and dreams expand beyond borders, and diverse experiences build empathy, understanding, and a deeper connection to humanity. This is an education for all, with far-reaching benefits that impact opportunities and perspectives for life.  Here, every lesson, interaction, and experience challenges the limits of a traditional education.

A Foundation for Life

Through a purposeful blend of demanding academics, immersive cultural experiences, and a fearless global perspective, ISB empowers students from Preschool through Grade 12 to:

  • Explore, reason, and communicate through a global lens
  • Fluently communicate and think in at least two languages
  • Learn alongside friends, world-class faculty, and families from 50+ countries
  • Enjoy a vast array of co-curricular activities in the arts, athletics, and global learning
  • Connect through global travel, cultural exchanges, and service projects
  • Contribute to our international community

This intentional preparation culminates with the choice between our two globally-respected Upper School programs—the International and French Baccalaureates—ensuring that ISB students stand out, wherever they go. At ISB, education is about more than knowledge; it’s about building a foundation for a life of limitless opportunity and global impact.
