English is the main language of teaching, learning and communication at ISB. It is therefore important that all students become proficient in the academic language of the classroom. ISB offers an ELD programme (English Language Development) to enable students to acquire the level of literacy in English
needed to access curriculum in all subjects. Assessment is done on entry and students are placed into levels (Intensive, Intermediate and Advanced). Ongoing assessment then allows students to move between the levels as appropriate.

French, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese.
In addition to the above languages, ISB is offering an expanded range of languages as part of the home language programme after school. The home language programme is designed to support students in maintaining the language and culture of their home country.

Every child, from age 3 to 19, is provided with access to age appropriate technologies. In the Early Childhood Centre, this means digital cameras, educational games and tablet computers available for use in every classroom.
From grades 3 to 5, students are engaged directly in one to one computing, meaning that every student has his or own tablet computer for use in the classroom, integrating technology and research skills into the curriculum to complement all units of study.
Students in grade six and up are given their own tablets, which they can use in class and take home to use on assignments, finally bridging the gap between home and the classroom and ensuring students can be independent in learning that can occur at virtually anytime and anywhere.
