Founded in 2000 by parents seeking to improve Louisiana’s public education system, the International School of Louisiana focuses on immersing students from pre-kindergarten through grade eight in foreign languages and international customs and practices. At their Uptown New Orleans’ campus, located at 1400 Camp St., grades three through eight are instructed in core subjects such as math, English, and art while also being immersed in classes of French and/or Spanish.
At the Uptown campus, students spend 35% of each day being instructed in the foreign language of their choice and those in grades six through eight have the option of adding Mandarin as an elective language to further enhance their understanding of global and cultural awareness.
The International School of Louisiana provides a challenging education with emphasis on becoming an aware international citizen, celebrating society’s diversity, and accepting responsibility in their communities by immersing their students in foreign languages. Rated in the top 10 public schools in Louisiana, the International School enrolls 1400 students with a student-teacher ratio of 14:1. The school has also earned an A grade in academics with 88% of students being more than proficient at reading and 76% being more than proficient at math.

My experience as a student was amazing through 4th through 8th grade, very disciplined and the teachers really care about the student's performance and knowledge. It can get challenging but the school is overall the best place for a or your child to learn another language and new things.
