  • creative and collaborative problem solvers able to apply knowledge across
    disciplines and complex issues.
  • effective communicators in multiple languages that work across linguistic
    and cultural boundaries.

  • thoughtful stewards of the Earth’s resources.
  • committed to demonstrating respect, responsibility, and effort.

Equity Statement

The International School of Indiana honors the uniqueness of each student and staff person, actively embracing diverse backgrounds, encouraging values that promote equity and belonging, and fostering creative, culturally aware, global citizens. We equip our students with the skills and confidence to explore ideas, ask critical questions, and express their unique views. They are equally empowered to transform their communities by embracing, respecting, and valuing others and connecting across a range of differences.


School founding and History

In 1991, an Indiana Humanities Council task force was established to address Indiana’s position in a changing world.  The Task Force report, entitled Indiana in a Changing World – A Strategy for Action, emphasized the need for Indiana to:

  • Participate in the world community and world economy
  • Attract foreign companies and specialist employees
  • Make Indiana students more internationally competitive

One of the report’s major recommendations led to the creation of the International School of Indiana in 1994.

Since its founding in 1994, ISI has grown into a 3-year-old through Grade 12 school of some 600 students that operates on two campuses
