The International School of Arizona (ISA) is a not-for-profit private school specializing in early foreign language learning.

ISA offers a unique program following curriculum set forth by the French and Spanish Ministries of Education and the State of Arizona.

The curriculum, which emphasizes second language acquisition through immersion, features rigorous traditional academic subjects (language, mathematics, science and social studies) as well as fine arts, music, computer learning and physical education.

By learning multiple languages students gain a competitive advantage by becoming bilingual, bicultural and biliterate in English/French or English/Spanish.

Students at ISA perform high on national standardize tests, such as the Stanford 10, even though the majority of their instructional hours are conducted in a foreign language.

An accelerated track was designed in 2008 to accomodate students entering after 1st grade without prior experience in French or Spanish.


Foreign Language Immersion Programs:

French Pre-School & Elementary
Available for Pre-School (starting at age 2) and Elementary (through 5th grade). ISA's Cycle 1 and 2 programs are accredited by the French Ministry of Education.

Spanish Pre-School & Elementary
Available for Pre-School (starting at age 2) and Kindergarten. A Spanish 1st Grade is being planned for 2010/11 with additional grade levels expected to be added each year as students grow with the program. ISA is seeking accreditation through the International Spanish Academies.

Middle School
A middle school program is currently being considered to expand ISA's programs. Families from the greater Phoenix metropolitan area who have children entering 5th-7th grades in 2010-2012 are encouraged to contact the School Director, Michelle Borie at mborie@isaz.org.
