ISK’s Mission, Vision & Educational Aims EMPOWERING students to create solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.

LEARNING at ISK

At ISK, learning is the construction of meaning. We construct meaning through inquiry-based experiences that transcend disciplines.

These active roles prepare all ISK learners to achieve our vision to empower students to create solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.

Self-Manager As a self-manager, I am responsible for my actions. I reflect on my learning and set goals to continue to grow. I take initiative and persevere to overcome challenges. I am aware of my needs and the needs of others.

Thinker As a thinker, I identify problems and find creative solutions. I am curious and pose questions in ways that open up thinking and create new possibilities. I analyze and evaluate information to design and develop solutions and opportunities. I make claims and support them with evidence and reasoning. I deepen my understanding by considering different viewpoints.

Collaborator As a collaborator, I actively listen to understand the ideas of others. I contribute by asking questions and building on the ideas of others. I ensure that all voices are heard and valued by encouraging others and sometimes compromising as we build on our strengths. I am respectful of others’ opinions and form positive relationships as a community member in order to achieve a common goal.

Changemaker As a changemaker, I use my skills and understandings to make a positive difference. I am interested in working on real-world problems and being helpful locally and globally. By being aware of my culture and other cultures, I better understand issues from many points of view. I try to make principled decisions in my everyday life and advocate for a just and equitable future.

Communicator As a communicator, I express ideas and information clearly, confidently, and appropriately.

I listen and show respect when others are speaking. I express my true self and understand that my words impact others. I support and provide space for those whose voices and identities may not be heard.

Student Support Services A recognized leader in inclusive education practices, ISK believes that all students should have opportunities to inspire and nurture passion, creativity, and ambition in pursuit of a better world. We value the inclusion of all students, including a variety of cultural, neurological, and biological differences, as an integral part of our social well-being. ISK’s Student Support Services (SSS) department exemplifies our mission to provide inclusive learning to all students by embracing and honoring the unique learning needs of every learner. We thoughtfully combine educational excellence with equitable practices.

Student Support Services (SSS) utilize research-based best practices and programs to help facilitate responsible inclusion for all learners.

The SSS team, therefore, supports a wide spectrum of learners with unique academic needs, including; highly capable students, talented students, students with diagnosed neurological or physical differences, students with emotional needs, and students with English language challenges.

Learning Support (LS) utilizes multiple dimensions of educational support, including consultative support from learning specialists, small group instruction, co-teaching, performance monitoring, and the use of assistive learning technologies and accommodations.

Students who are acquiring English benefit from our English Language Learners (ELL) program, by receiving additional support to bring up their English language skills to ensure the full benefits of our academic program.

Student’s social/emotional well-being is important to ISK. As a result, the SSS department includes dedicated counselors for Elementary, Middle School, and High School students. Our counseling team facilitates age-appropriate student wellness programs, ensuring that everyone learns in a safe, healthy, and supportive environment.

First introduced in 2018, the Life Centered Education (LCE) Program is designed to meet the needs of students who have more significant intellectual, learning, or developmental differences.

Students accepted into the program receive personalized academic programming with embedded social-emotional learning from special educators.

At ISK, Student Support Services provide an integral part of the overall commitment to inclusion and diversity, recognizing that a diverse and inclusive school provides an environment that is best for all learners.

Elementary School Mathematics The focus in the Elementary is to build a strong mathematical foundation for all students. The ISK Mathematics program requires students to persevere as they engage in rich, authentic tasks where they must reason, make sense of and apply mathematical concepts.

Social Studies & Sciences Units in Social Studies & Science engage students’ natural curiosity. Teachers begin by laying a foundation of knowledge, and then a student’s own interests and curiosity help guide the learning.

Many units integrate social studies and science concepts as well as library skills, art, music and technology. Units of inquiry in both Social Studies and Science foster a student’s ability to create his or her own learning and solutions.

All units are centered on an “enduring understanding” or “big idea.”

Special Classes World Languages Spanish, Kiswahili, or French to develop a lasting love of language learning.

Physical and Health Education Enhance skills through various disciplines; including a yearlong swimming program.

Music To experience the many forms of music: listening, singing, and performing on instruments as well as music technology.

Art Projects integrate art history, art skills, and aesthetics at all levels.

Technology Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum to assist and strengthen student learning.

Library Enables students to become lifelong readers and researchers.

Guidance The Counselors work with students to address their academic, social, and behavioral needs. Counselors develop proactive guidance lessons.

Co-curricular Program Our Elementary School Co-Curricular program features quarterly sessions of afterschool activities centered on creativity, culture, leadership, and action. The Elementary School also features a growing service-learning program.

The aim of this program is to develop students who are confident and competent in contributing to and learning from their community. The program provides meaningful opportunities for students to cultivate both personal and community growth, while building recognition of human interdependence.

Field trips are scheduled to coordinate with the curricular area being studied. Students in Grades 3-5 also participate in overnight intercultural trips in line with their unit(s) of study.

Curriculum ISK offers an academically rigorous curriculum, which follows the Common Core Standards for math and English, the C3 Framework for social studies, and the NGSS standards for science. The Middle School operates a rotating block schedule that includes 8 blocks, with 4 blocks meeting each day. Blocks are 75 minutes long, and each class meets 2 or 3 times in the week.

The academic program is built around the following areas: Humanities (English and Social Studies integrated together), Science, Math, Wodern Language (French or Spanish), and Physical & Health Education. Additionally, students take a variety of Creative Arts classes each year, including drama, music, and art. Every student has the opportunity to take band or choir.

English Language Learners (ELL) and Learning Support students generally receive these services during the World Language block.

However, the decision is made based on each individual child’s needs.

We also have a rich electives program for students to choose from in the 7th and 8th Grades. The elective courses provide students opportunities to pursue a variety of creative endeavors, such as Photojournalism, Musical Theater, New Designers, Game Design, Muay Thai, Woodworking, Healthy Chef, MUN, and TED Talks.

7

Middle School Advisory Program/ House System Each student is assigned to an advisor who will meet with the students daily for 30 minutes. The Advisor’s role is to give guidance to the student in all areas of the school. The advisor will act as a student advocate if academic or social issues arise.

The goal of advisory time is to:

Create:

Communicate and Act:

Learn and Solve:

To nurture relationships, build a sense of fun and belonging, encourage risk-taking and develop a sense of community.

To nurture empathy, social skills, and self-awareness, as well as communication skills. To understand and discuss issues connected to equity and social justice.

To develop learning habits, such as organization, goal setting, and responsible decision-making, flexible thinking, critical thinking, and personal responsibility.

Intercultural Trips Our Intercultural Trips provide experiences that deliberately require students to challenge themselves, reinforcing ISK’s Educational Aims through interdisciplinary learning and character development, including personal responsibility, in an African context. Each Grade level in the Middle School participates in a week-long Intercultural trip in a different part of Kenya. Below is a sample of the trips we have taken: GRADE 6: Eburru and Hell’s Gate GRADE 7: Ngare Ndare Forest and Ol Pejeta GRADE 8: Sagana

Assessment and Grading Assessment is the continuous process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence so students and teachers can make informed decisions that enhance student learning. At ISK, the key principles of effective assessment are that it: • benefits students

Create Engage in at least one creative activity

Act Engage in at least one action activity

Service Learning Look for ways to nurture a service-minded approach, beyond the curriculum

Leadership Engage in at least one leadership opportunity

Students can meet this requirement through after-school activities, athletics, or external pursuits like piano lessons and family service opportunities. We encourage exploration! Examples of CASL engagement at ISK include after-school programs, athletics, and drama. Leadership opportunities include Leadership Seminars, Student Ambassadors, the MS Leadership Council, Earth Day and Peace Day committees, Social Planning, and volunteering for ES activities or as House captains.
