This year-end celebration is a uniquely New Orleans way to experience the essence of the ISL community and its celebration of diversity and all cultures.  Students spend the last week of school studying the different nations and cultures of our world blending what they have learned with a traditional New Orleans celebration.  Students will wear the colors and costumes of countries from around the world and carry countries’ flags and decorations as they second line around campus neighborhood, sharing the International experience and celebration of diversity with the local community.
 
The International School of Louisiana will hold its 8th Grade promotions this week. Uptown Campus program will be held Thursday, May 22, 5pm and Jefferson Parish Campus program will be held on Friday, May 23, 1pm.

 

 
Dedicated to cultural diversity and global awareness, ISL (grades K-8) is the only multi-language immersion school chartered by the State of Louisiana.  From their first day of school, students are taught core academic subjects in either French or Spanish by native speaking teachers. At ISL children learn a second language naturally, through everyday conversation and classroom instruction.  Committed to breaking down barriers in public education by teaching children to embrace diversity in their community, ISL is dedicated to providing all of its students with a unique and high-quality education and to helping young people develop, not only as students but also as community leaders and global citizens.   In 2007, ISL was named a national “Charter School of the Year” by the Center for Education Reform, the only Louisiana charter school to receive this honor.  School website: www.isl-edu.org
