You won’t find another school like ours in Indiana or even the Midwest. The combination of International Baccalaureate® (IB) programs, immersion and dual language learning in French, Mandarin, Spanish, and English, and enhanced cultural experiences make our academics distinct.
It is the smaller classes, personalized attention, and differentiated instruction that makes our approach to education so successful in preparing students to be inquiring, knowledgeable, confident, and caring young people ready for college and beyond.
Pre-Elementary
3YO - K
Language Immersion
Using our play-based and inquiry-based PYP curriculum, our teachers, all of whom are native speakers of the target language as well as English-proficient, work with and empower our young students to question, problem solve, take action, and reflect.
Elementary
Grades 1 - 5
Language Immersion through Grade 3
Dual Language Grades 4-5
This is a time when students begin taking an even more significant role in directing their own hands-on learning and finding answers to their questions. We believe in encouraging our students to be curious, critical thinkers, inquirers and reflect on what they have learned.
Middle School
Grades 6 - 8
Dual Language
The ISI Middle School represents the transitional years between elementary and high school. Grades 6 to 8 see students taking on new academic challenges, additional extracurricular options, and opportunities to grow as responsible, independent thinkers.
high school
Grades 9 - 12
Dual Language
The ISI High School, Grades 9 to 12, prepares students for their college experience and the world beyond. With a holistic approach, students participate in Creativity, Activity and Service to strengthen personal and interpersonal learning.

Enrichment & Childcare
International School of Indiana provides quality before- and after-school care on each scheduled school day of the academic year, and child care is also available on some select days that school is not in session.
Enrichment classes are also available after school for students. Activities rotate each quarter, and include a wide variety of activities like specialized arts classes, cooking classes, choir, different athletics classes, STEM-based activities, and cultural experiences.
athletics
At the International School of Indiana (ISI), we strive for balance in the lives of our students. We believe that body, mind, and spirit work best when they’re working together.
So, we offer over 20 athletic teams annually for students in grades 5 to 12, and joining a team is as simple as attending the first scheduled practice. Through our open participation policy, ISI provides athletic opportunities to all our students. Every student is encouraged to take part in athletics as a participant, team manager, or supporter.
clubs & ActivitIes
ISI offers more than 40 clubs and extracurricular activities for students each year.
Opportunities that go beyond the classroom give each student an ISI experience that is uniquely theirs. With a student population as diverse, self-motivated, and engaged as ours, it is not surprising that there’s so much to do. Students can participate in any combination of student activities, including fine arts, travel and field trips, and special-interest clubs. Many groups have been founded on the initiative of the students themselves.

The small but mighty ISI Girls Varsity Tennis team completed a successful spring season! The team spent the season working hard to improve, and every member played a crucial role in bringing home team victories.
“My favorite memory from this season was our first team win,” Grade 9 player Veronica Sabau said. “Since we only had four people on the team, we needed each of us to win our matches in order to have a team win. This made winning extra special.”

This year, students built a multi-use court for basketball, soccer, and volleyball. They leveled the ground, mixed and poured concrete, created drainage systems, and finished the edges to make it safe for children. They also helped construct a well, cleaned up the school’s exterior and landscaping, and cleaned up the school’s fruit garden, which was previously unusable. Timmy Club members also brought basketballs and soccer balls for the community to keep, donated by the Pacers, Fever, and Indy Eleven teams
