Portland, OR October 5, 2021 – The International School of Portland has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2021 honor by The Oregonian Media Group. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

 

“During this very challenging time, Top Workplaces has proven to be a beacon of light for organizations, as well as a sign of resiliency and strong business performance,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward. Top Workplaces draw on real-time insights into what works best for their organization, so they can make informed decisions that have a positive impact on their people and their business.”

 

“It is an honor to be named an Oregonian Top Workplace recipient, and it helps let the Portland area know that this is a great place to come to work. Among many incredible qualities that we share at the International School of Portland, one that stood out in the survey is that we are innovators," Head of School Bodo Heiliger notes. “This award is because of all the hard work and dedication that our faculty and staff put in to make ISP a special place. I am proud of all that we are doing on a daily basis.”

Founded in 1990, the International School of Portland provides a warm, multicultural environment where children are fully immersed in Mandarin, Japanese or Spanish from preschool through fifth grade. Its small classes and inquiry-based International Baccalaureate curriculum enable children to acquire language and culture as they learn to pursue knowledge beyond the classroom and throughout life. Unlike other immersion schools, at least 75% of the classroom experience is in the language, including math.

 

The International School of Portland’s world-renowned professional faculty and staff hail from more than 17 countries and provide a loving, multicultural environment that engages the school’s nearly 400 students in academics, PE and the arts. The school promotes a positive climate that offers long-term, secure relationships that support academic, physical, cognitive, social and emotional development—an approach known as “whole child” education.
