Unit 3 Wrap-Up

In today’s competitive academic environment, students have to take advantage of every possible opportunity to learn successful habits, push themselves academically, discover passions, and prepare themselves for the college admissions process. ISI students have the distinct advantage of learning through the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, preparing themselves to be responsible and effective leaders who take ownership of their learning.

From September 14 to 20, the International School of Indiana (ISI) celebrated its International Week with a burst of color, cultural pride, and school spirit. This annual tradition, established in 2019, highlights the school's rich heritage while also raising funds for Upper School clubs and their philanthropic initiatives. It has become one of ISI's signature events, celebrating the past, present, and future of the school community.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of participants and sponsors, this year’s event surpassed last year’s total, raising over $31,000! These funds directly support facility and equipment upgrades, helping to elevate our athletics program to new heights. As the cost of running the ISI Athletics Program is not covered entirely by athletics fees, philanthropic support is a critical component of continual program growth.
