Is your child ready to embark on an educational journey? If so, join us for a Husky Pup Preview Night to learn more about The International School of Minnesota and how our school could be a perfect fit for your child. At ISM, we understand that Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten are the most important steps for a young child because it starts their education for the future. One thing that’s unique to ISM is our Preschool enrolls students at 33 months and our Kindergarten cutoff is 5 years old by December 31, 2025.
Our experienced and passionate educators are committed to fostering a love of learning and encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. We strive for academic excellence through a world renowned curriculum. Our weekly schedule includes daily world language taught by native speakers, enrichment activities daily, weekly swimming lessons, engagement with upper school students, and an extended day program that comes at no additional cost to your family (a $5,000 value).
The Husky Pup Preview Night will consist of a presentation from ISM staff, a guided tour of the ISM campus, and an opportunity for you to ask us any questions. We encourage interested families to join us at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, to start the process for your child’s early childhood education.
