Academics

The International School of Aruba is a non-profit co-educational English-language school serving children ages 3-19. It offers a comprehensive American curriculum with an international perspective, preparing students to enter colleges, universities, or other institutions of higher learning in the U.S. or Canada, Europe, nearby countries of Latin America, and elsewhere.

The school includes a Montessori preschool, an Elementary division of grades 1-5, a Middle School division of grades 6-8, and a High School for grades 9-12. While each division provides curriculum and learning activities corresponding to the age and level of the students that it educates, children across grade levels know and respect each other in a family-type environment: a special benefit of a small school. Many of the faculty teach more than one grade level and know and value all students at ISA.

Our students come from a diversity of ethnic backgrounds, languages, education systems, and nationalities. ISA considers this diversity to be a source of strength in its partnership with students, parents, and teachers. In keeping with the Objectives of our Mission Statement, ISA strives to provide an atmosphere in which each student develops a positive attitude toward learning and works toward achievement in all learning areas through an appropriately challenging curriculum. ISA works to develop and strengthen each student's capability to reason, solve problems, and think critically, and to cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultural heritage of humanity.
