The International School of Brooklyn has been in the news as an innovative and unique offering in the NYC Private School environment. The ISB currently offers school-day programming for children from Nursery to Third Grade in a Spanish or French language immersion environment. The 4th grade will be added to the school next year, and there are extensive plans to grow with the students through Twelfth Grade and offer the IB diploma program.
Currently using the Primary Years Programme from the International Baccalaureate Organization, the curriculum of the International School of Brooklyn focuses on the development of the whole child, which includes academic, social, physical, emotional and cultural needs and education.
