Education
When you enroll your student athlete at ISI, they are granted incredible opportunities including the benefit of small class sizes, which means that our educators can create engaging personalized learning plans and get to know each child individually. We believe that personalized learning translates to academic advancement, increased confidence, and measurable growth.
At ISI the values we instill are just as important as the curriculum we teach. Our values combine both on and off the field, to allow our student athletes to become confident, well-rounded leaders in life. Our program is a vibrant community that promotes growth, celebrates achievements, pursues passions and feels like family.
Every student athlete receives instruction each day in reading, writing, and mathematics, and multiple times per week in science and social studies, alongside soccer. Our curriculum and its accompanying extra-and co-curricular activities create well-rounded student athletes.
ISI excels in teaching critical thinking, complex problem solving, and higher order reasoning. Studies indicate a clear link between these skills and eventual success in college and in the workplace.
