FIND YOURSELF AT ISKL

Come and join us for ISKL’s Open Day.

Thursday, October 1, 2020.

9 am - 12 pm

ISKL focuses on best-fit and nurturing the individual as opposed to a one-size-fits-all education. Why? Because every child learns differently and our mission is to provide every learner with the flexibility to choose the pathway best suited to their abilities, interests, and aspirations. With the introduction of two innovative academic options, PRAXIS 2030 and Pursuits, our High School students now have even more study paths to choose from.

Our educational approach is embodied by our school’s call to action to Be All You Are which encourages our students to explore their passions and interests, achieve their goals and find themselves.
