The International School’s integrated curriculum starts in sixth grade and requires seven years of core subjects such as international studies, humanities, science, math, French, physical education and fine arts. The International School requires each student to complete a weeklong session outside the classroom. This “focus week” can range from cooking classes to disaster preparedness courses or environmental trips to the Cascade Mountains. Advanced Placement courses are offered, and seniors must complete a senior project, which encompasses extensive learning in a specific topic, a mentor, a research paper, community service and an assessment by a panel of judges.
