[edit] Curriculum
ISA offers a unique program following curriculum set forth by the French Ministry of Education and the State of Arizona. This system thus allows ISA students to later integrate into either the American or a European system of education.
It currently has 2 language tracks:
- French (from 2 years old to 5th grade)
- Spanish (from 2 years old to Kindergarten)
The curriculum, which emphasizes second language acquisition through immersion, features rigorous traditional academic subjects (language, mathematics, science and social studies) as well as fine arts, music, computer learning and physical education.
[edit] Summer camps
The school also offers a summer school program accessible to all children in the Scottsdale / Phoenix metro area:
- French immersion camp
- Spanish immersion camp
- German immersion camp
No knowledge in the foreign language is required.
[edit] After-school programs
The school offers after-school and Saturday language classes in several different languages for both beginners and advanced levels.
