High School Report

I
would like to start this year’s annual report with an expression of gratitude, acknowledging the community spirit, hard work, teamwork, and can-do attitude that prevailed at ISK amid the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The faculty found ways to improve practices and deliver great learning experiences for students no matter what. Students also demonstrated strong habits of learning and stayed positive at a time of physical distancing, applying the COVID-19 prevention 4 W’s to help keep us all safe. Lastly, families were unfailingly supportive of students and the school at a time of uncertainty for all. Like high schools around the world, the ISK High School faced some specific challenges this year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. I am extremely proud of the way our community planned for and responded to unprecedented challenges, remaining true to ourselves, our mission and values, and our
students along the way. The following report reflects how we moved forward thoughtfully and responsively to ensure that an enriching, student-centered and holistic learning environment was maintained, no matter what twist or turn the year took.
