All learning at ISL is guided by our Learning Principles:

ISL's curriculum is based upon standards and benchmarks that the school has developed in all the major disciplines. These standards and benchmarks define what we believe to be the most important knowledge and skills our students should attain at particular stages. Learning is concept-based meaning that care is taken to ensure that the requisite knowledge and skills are situated within conceptual frameworks, helping students make meaning and draw connections to the real world.
