Welcome Back, 5th Graders!

Our 5th graders recently returned from one of the most exciting and enriching experiences ISP has to offer – the Capstone Study Abroad program. Our students were wonderful ambassadors of ISP, and we could not be more proud of their accomplishments during this year’s Capstone! They personified the IB Learner Profile traits of principled, courageous, caring, open-minded, and reflective. Welcome back, 5th graders!

Throughout the two-week program we received regular updates from teachers, parents and students. You can read some of these comments on the Capstone blogs (ChinaJapan, or Mexico). The Capstone Study Abroad program is truly the culmination of the students’ culture and language learning at ISP. Thank you to the entire ISP faculty for preparing the students for success over the years. And of course, a special thanks to our 5th grade teachers who guided the students through their study abroad experience. Christy, Angela, Constanza, Libni and Taka – the time and dedication you put into this year’s program was unrivaled. It was a huge success!
