Both my children (ages 6 & 10) have learned so much. Close Quote

Teachers = excellent through perhaps somewhat conservative in methodology. This is balanced by separate classes in art, music, circus arts, and PE.

Administration = terrible-- disrespect to the level of contempt for parents, almost impossible to reach the office by phone.
Basically, this means you have to make a real effort to form a strong, direct relationship with the teacher and with other parents, and just don't expect much from the administration, not even a phone call back to answer a question.

General: Your child will get a good education if they are up for the challenge-- it is challenging so be prepared to support your child if they need it. The student body is very diverse in class, race, nationality, and philosophy of the parents-- this means that you will probably bump in to a lot of other parents who think differently from you. Keep an open mind, and you will realize that this can actually be good, as much as it would feel easier to be in a school where everyone thought pretty much the same way you do. An added benefit: you can learn or hone your ability in the target language alongside your child! Close Quote

Have something useful to share about this school? Write your thoughts here... (optional)When ISL first opened I thought their mission was wonderful and they exceed all expectations. After Katrina, the whole system, collapsed.Nothing was done to help the retuning student who had missed a lot of their immersion in their core language although a lot of promises were made. This caused many students to language and struggle and play catch up if you can which I must say, many even though they struggle are holding on with no help from ISL. The only hope you give is to go to sylvan,instead of leaving out non essential courses like circus arts and having classes for children that need help in math, etc. Many parents or grandparents are qualified to teach math or help with beginning languages. All you have to do is put out the word.I AM A GRANDPARENT Close Quote

Initially good idea. Brought down by poor post-Katrina administration. Close Quote
