Now more than ever, we need to teach our children, tomorrow’s global leaders, how to approach challenging issues with empathy and compassion. Welcome to the International School of Portland. For over thirty years, we’ve offered full language
and
cultural immersion in a warm, loving environment that encourages curiosity and kindness.

Incredible Teachers
The teachers are absolutely incredible. I always have peace of mind dropping my child off for the day knowing she’s in such a warm, loving environment that fosters creativity, inclusion, curiosity and kindness.
IB Program
We really appreciate the IB program as it teaches the children to question things as opposed to just absorb content.
Small class sizes
We have loved the small class sizes, the academic excellence, and the kindness and joy that our family has experienced at ISP!
Cultural and language immersion
Cultural and language immersion means she gets to experience the world beyond what we can offer her at home … I love that she is able to see and participate in cultural celebrations and traditions beyond just her language track.
Intellectual curiosity
We love how ISP fosters intellectual curiosity. My child is excited to go to school every day, and her intellectual progress is evident.
Inclusiveness and Inquiry
The school culture of inclusiveness and inquiry learning is aligned to our own values. We appreciate the individual attention we get from administrators and teachers—our student never feels like just another student.
