Tuition & Affordability

Investing in a culturally diverse, bilingual private education is investing in your child’s future. 

As an ISB student, your child will have access to individuals, ideas, and experiences that are not typical of a traditional school environment. ISB’s core identity as a Center for Global Learning reflects our bold and visionary commitment to preparing students for the complexities of an interconnected world. Investing in an ISB education will:

  • Equip your child with improved cognitive ability and problem-solving skills: The continuous need to switch between languages trains the brain to be more nimble and adaptable. ISB students develop the mental agility that translates into better problem-solving skills and a greater ability to handle tasks that require shifting attention.
     

  • Support your child’s growth toward future readiness: ISB students develop the capacity to adapt, lead, and innovate in an increasingly globalized world and fluid future. Their heightened intercultural understanding enables them to engage with and respect diverse perspectives, fostering empathy and collaboration.
     

  • Open doors to global higher education options: ISB students matriculate to many of the nation’s and the world’s top colleges and universities, resulting in the most geographically diverse college matriculation list in New England.  

On our Community Voices page, you can discover the exceptional students, families, alumni, and faculty and staff who make ISB a place where every individual is known, connected, and supported.
