Tuition & Fees

As a non-profit private school, ISA relies on tuition to fund the students’ education.  In an effort to make it’s unique international education available to as many children as possible, ISA works to keep tuition fees to a minimum.  Our current fees are up to 50% lower than other private schools in the area.  ISA does not charge large capital or matriculation fees, provides payment plan options, and offers scholarship opportunities to assist interested families.
