Top 10 Reasons to Attend the International School of Broward

International School of Broward(ISB) is a free, public charter school serving grades 6-12. We provide students with a challenging curriculum and encourage them to strive for academic excellence and we are fully accredited by Cognia/AdvancED. Here are ten reasons to join our free public charter school: 

1. International School of Broward has a bilingual focus.  We believe in preparing tomorrow’s leaders through a global perspective. With French immersion programming, our students can take Spanish and Mandarin foreign language classes, too. Our students understand the world on a multi-cultural level, express themselves effectively in multiple languages and use every lobe and neuron of their brains to the fullest.
2. In addition to an innovative and comprehensive academic program, we prepare students to qualify for — and pursue — career goals that enrich their lives and benefit society as a whole. We extend our values beyond the classroom by making sure skills and concepts taught in the classroom are authentically useful in the world beyond school.
3. We are the ONLY public school in Florida that accepts students with F1 Visas and the only school in South Florida that helps students acquire F1 visas.

Proudly a bilingual school, ISB teaches academic courses in French such as History and Science. The ISB offers an enrichment program through the CNED (Ka-Ned) with tutoring. The CNED is a French online instructional program. Students will enroll in CNED and receive additional instructional support from francophone and certified teachers throughout the year. These highly qualified instructors prepare our students for the BREVET through CNED for grades 6 to 9 and the DELF preparation of linguistic skills from A to C.
8. Many of our students attain the gold and silver Florida Seal of Biliteracy. This Program recognizes high school graduates who attain a high level of competency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in one or more foreign languages in addition to English.
9. Our Pumas are athletes and scholars, too. Our exciting extracurriculars include basketball, soccer and flag football, robust student government opportunities, robotics and debate clubs, Junior and National Honor Society and so much more.
