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.
