The mission of the International School of Louisiana (ISL) is to provide a challenging education emphasizing language immersion, international awareness, the celebration of diversity, and community responsibility.
The International School of Louisiana (ISL) was founded in 2000 by a group of parents eager to improve public education in Louisiana. They envisioned a tuition-free, non-selective charter school that would cultivate diversity, inclusion, and equity. ISL is the only school chartered before Katrina fortunate enough to see continued success, growth, and a thriving student population. We are proud to continue to provide French and Spanish language immersion and to foster global learners.
ISL offers French and Spanish immersion for students in Kindergarten-8th grade.

Parents/legal guardians have the right to review non-academic surveys before they are administered or distributed to their student. To review these materials, legal guardians should contact their campus Principal or their designee to arrange a mutually agreeable time and date within regular school hours during which to review materials in person. Parents/legal guardians may request physical copies of instructional materials; if a legal guardian requests a paper copy of material that can be readily copied using school equipment, copies will be provided for a fee of $.25 per page. In responding to such requests, ISL will comply with all applicable laws, including LA RS 17:355 and the Parents’ Bill of Rights for Public Schools.
