The goal of the ISA extended care program is to provide an affordable before and after school program for all ISA students (pre-school age 2 through 5th grade), in which students’ minds and bodies are enhanced through fun, creative and challenging activities in a safe and nurturing environment.
The International School of Arizona provides extended care to ISA students in the morning starting at 7:00am, and in the afternoon between 3:00 and 6:00pm. Students in the afternoon program have a snack, get to play on the playground, and do arts & crafts, science, and other games and activities.
ISA’s homework class is offered every day of the week for elementary-age students. Homework class for ISA students gives children in 1st-5th grades the opportunity to complete their daily assignments under the supervision of a French and Spanish teacher. This allows children to complete their homework tasks before leaving school. Non native French or Spanish speaking parents find this class to be very helpful.
For more information on Extended Care pricing and registration, please view our extended care registration form or contact Sharon Brown at sbrown@isaz.org.
In addition to its full-time programs, ISA offers a number of after-school classes which allow children to enhance their minds and bodies while making new friends through a variety of age-appropriate classes.
Children who participate in after-school activities at ISA can be exposed to additional foreign languages such as Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish. We also offer a variety of music and movement classes such as “Yoga,” “Ballet/Tap” and “Chorus.” Visit our After-School Class Schedule for a comprehensive list of after-school classes that ISA is currently offering.

Language learning doesn’t have to end with the school year! Every summer ISA offers Foreign Language Summer Camps designed for children, ages 3-8, who are interested in learning the French or Spanish language and culture in a fun and enriching environment. Students can participate in one to nine weeks of language learning fun as part of either the French or Spanish program. Camp is open to children at all levels from beginners to advanced students. Children must be at least 3-years-old and potty trained prior to participate in our camp.
Learn the fundamentals of the Spanish or French language this summer while having fun with these and other activities:

ISA’s Extended Care program includes a schedule of activities which includes playtime, snacks, arts & crafts projects, and more around a rotating theme. A monthly schedule of extended care activities is posted in the cafeteria.
Extended Care is available for all current ISA preschool or elementary students.
We find that kids are very adaptable and integrate into the ISA immersion language program with ease. A great way for kids to get their ‘feet wet’ with language learning is to take an After-School or Saturday Class, or enroll in one of our Summer Camp sessions. These give the child and parent the ability to gauge their commitment to an immersion preschool or elementary environment.
In addition to our Summer Camps, there are many resources available online (great for traveling families), in local libraries, etc. Any opportunities children have to practice their language skills will be very effective in maintaining their skills over the summer. Check out our page on Learning Resources for some ideas to get started.
This year ISA will host language education and performance events for the community at large. Stay tuned for details!
