The International School of Arizona (ISA) has experienced a doubling of enrollment in five years, and continues to grow despite a tough economic climate in Arizona. ISA will be out of extra space in two years. The campus is landlocked, and the building footprint does not allow additions. A new campus will better meet the language-immersion educational needs of our most precious resource – our children.

A Building Committee was formed in 2007, and architects at The Orcutt/Winslow Partnership reviewed ISA’s facilities related options and developed a Planning Schedule. Timing of the implementation of each option was also a critical issue reviewed in the study. ISA is now in the ‘Land Acquisition’ phase of development, after studying the feasibility of sites and preparing specifications for the future campus (build or lease). ISA’s current lease extends until 2014. There are currently limited administrative and meeting spaces, and no outdoor athletic facilities beyond a small playground.

With a proposed doubling of space from the present 14,183 sq. ft., to the projected 28,000 sq. ft., ISA’s strategic plan envisions, as funds become available, a middle school and high school on the same campus. The current facility can accommodate 250 students, with the need for pre-K through 5th at the New Campus to house 360 students. Both the middle school and high school at the new location are envisioned to be 28,000 sq. ft. facilities, for a total of 84,000 sq. ft. desired, and an eventual capacity of over 800 students.

Like other donations to ISA, New Campus contributions are tax deductible, and will make a great difference in making our dream of a larger, more permanent location come true. There are many ways to contribute to this fund:

 

• Make a cash donation that is restricted to the new Campus Fund.
• Donate land or a building for which you or your company have no plans.
• If you are a contractor, make a donation of labor and/or materials.
• Make a pledge, for building naming rights.

 

The International School of Arizona provides a uniquely engaged learning experience that ensures students have the empathy, intellectual ingenuity, and courage to lead in an ever-changing 21st century world.

 

Students with a dual language background develop resourcefulness that crosses boundaries and disciplines. The reasons for the planned New Campus are numerous. Among the most compelling, however, is that ISA is the only Spanish/French full language-immersion pre-K through 5th Grade school in the Valley. We are giving children what it will take to be citizens of the world. We’re global…and we’re growing.

 

You have the power to make a lasting impact on the International School of Arizona and our students through a planned gift. People help shape the global impact of future ISA students when they include the International School of Arizona in their estate plans.

 

Help shape the future; leave your mark. Through your will, you can leave:

• a specific amount or a percentage of your estate
• all or part of what remains in your estate after other bequests are made
• a conditional gift if beneficiaries do not outlive you

 

Even those without a will can consider naming ISA as a beneficiary in their insurance policy or a retirement account.

 

In the same way you would with a will, you might consider a revocable trust, with wishes for distributing assets.  Importantly, in a will or revocable trust, you keep control as long as you live and you can change your plans whenever you wish.

 

Sample Language for Your Estate Plan
