Get to Know Us

The International School of Arizona offers French & Spanish language immersion programs that begin at 18 months and continue through 8th grade.

We have a 22-year history in Arizona, and an evolving, adaptive, and culturally inclusive curriculum.

Our three schools at ISA are the Early Childhood School (Pre K-kindergarten), the Lower School (grades 1-5), and the Middle School (grades 6-8). Each school offers small class sizes and two immersion language tracks: French and Spanish.

Our community is made up of diverse yet, like-minded, multicultural parents who demand high academic standards and understand that the great gift of language leads to academic excellence.

Discover how you can give your child the life-long gifts of a second language, and the skills he or she will need to successfully navigate our rapidly changing world.

Accreditations/ Partnerships

French Accreditation through the Ministry of Education
Accreditation by the French Ministry of Education certifies that ISA complies with the demands, curricula, teaching objectives, and organizational policies of the French education system. ISA delivers the French National Curriculum in a language immersion environment, using the inquiry-based methodology at the core of the French Education philosophy. ISA is monitored by the AEFE (Association des Ecoles Francaises a I'Etranger) and is one of the 200 approved French schools in North America.
Spanish Accreditation through the Cervantes Institute

The Cervantes Institute was established by the Spanish government in 1991 as a worldwide non-profit organization, dedicated to the promotion of the Spanish language and culture. Institutions accredited by the Instituto Cervantes have conformed to the requirements related to academic programs, faculty qualifications, and administrative organization.

In order to preserve this accreditation, ISA must submit to periodic evaluations demonstrating compliance with the numerous indicators. The denomination "Centro Acreditado" by the Instituto Cervantes can only be used by Centers endowed with the accreditation of the Instituto Cervantes. There are 37 centers accredited in the world, with only one accredited in the United States and that is our school.

U.S. Accreditation through AdvancEd

AdvancED is the world’s largest education community, representing 30,000 public and private schools and systems across the United States and in 75 countries worldwide. Today, NCA CASI, NWAC, and SACS CASI serve as accreditation divisions of AdvancED. Through AdvancED, these divisions share research-based accreditation standards that cross state, regional, national, and international boundaries. Accompanying these standards is a unified accreditation process designed to help educational institutions continuously improve.
