The International School of the Americas (ISA) provides a globally-focused education aimed at developing open-minded, culturally aware graduates ready to thrive in our interconnected world. The curriculum emphasizes four pillars: investigating the world, weighing diverse perspectives, communicating ideas effectively, and taking action to create positive change.

An international approach promotes understanding of global systems, cultures, and viewpoints. This fosters competencies like collaboration, problem-solving, and empathy that prepare students to engage meaningfully as citizens of an increasingly global society.

ISA students and teachers explore real-world, project-based learning requiring collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills. Classes emphasize hands-on experiences and presentation skills over a traditional classroom setting.

Students entering 9th grade, both in and outside NEISD boundaries, can apply through the annual magnet lottery. Rising 10th and 11th graders who are on track to graduate can also apply as transfer students from March - June.

ISA offers smaller classes focused on both peer and instructor relationships, letting students develop collaboration, creativity, problem-solving, and presentation abilities. Travel, Model UN, international exchanges, and clubs provide diverse hands-on learning.

ISA teachers meet Texas requirements and over 80% have advanced degrees in our curriculum, instruction, and educational focuses. Their specialized training facilitates experiential learning in ISA students.

Understanding diverse worldviews is central to ISA's mission. An inclusive, equitable environment lets students appreciate different backgrounds while developing cultural awareness.

ISA provides individualized support like tutoring, Saturday school, and mastery-based grading with revision opportunities. Teachers work closely with students to ensure success.

Students participate in Model UN conferences, travel programs, international exchanges, and diverse clubs. ISA also partners with LEE High School for fine arts, athletics, and more.

ISA develops adaptable skills like collaboration, communication, empathy, problem-solving, and critical thinking that prepare graduates to excel in any postsecondary pathway.

ISA families automatically become members of the ISA Amigos Booster organization.  Additional opportunities to participate include volunteering during whole school activities and serving as chaperones on grade-level travel experiences.  Chaperone eligibility is based on current approved volunteer status through NEISD.

Parents may obtain a VISITORS BADGE in the main L.E.E. office with a valid photo ID and then proceed to the ISA office to sign out their student. 

To expedite the sign out process, the parent/guardian may submit THIS Google Form prior to your arrival. You will be required to upload a valid picture ID of the person picking up the student. The ISA office will follow up with a call to confirm departure information. Your student will pick up the blue pass  at the ISA office and will be able to meet you outside.  

The application for rising 9th graders opens in October and closes in February. The transfer application spans March to June. Acceptance is based on a lottery system. Siblings of current ISA students get preference in 9th grade applications.
