Our aim is to lay the foundation of a life-long educational experience, which will give the individual confidence and respect that will overcome all distinctions of race, class, colour and creed. We also wish to develop in our students a consciousness of the needs of society and the desire to contribute positively through selfless service, putting the totality of God-given talents and acquired knowledge to the service of humanity. Mission Statement: Our mission is to promote lifelong learning in an open and caring atmosphere that motivates students to be confident and responsible global citizens. Our Vision: To lead holistic, inclusive, innovative world class education in Africa. Our Core Values: Child-centredness Respect Integrity Excellence Service Our Philosophy The school is non-partisan, non-denominational and non-discriminatory. The only criteria for admission are academic merit and the willingness to do one's best to achieve excellence. We believe that all African children in schools are members of a privileged minority, regardless of social and economic standing, and we owe them a duty to provide the highest possible standard of education. The school's philosophy embraces internationalism in its widest sense. Education is a global phenomenon; as such, we seek excellence wherever it is to be found and use it to raise our standards.

Our Mission The mission of the INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF LOUISIANA is to provide a challenging education emphasizing French or Spanish language immersion, international awareness, the celebration of diversity and community responsibility. Named “2007 Charter School of the Year” by the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Education Reform, THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF LOUISIANA (ISL) was founded in 2000 as a tuition-free, public school open to any child in the State of Louisiana. The only public school of its kind in the United States, ISL embraces the unique culture, ethnic diversity and historical significance of New Orleans. By respecting their past, ISL prepares its students for the diverse and challenging marketplace of the 21st century. Our Program Currently a kindergarten through eighth grade program, ISL's goal is to provide a rigorous public education - on par with the nation’s leading schools - in French or Spanish language immersion. Our Vision for the Future… The vision begins with continued growth. ISL began operations in 2000 with just two kindergarten classes: one in French and one in Spanish. We have added four additional kindergarten classes each year, and in 2008 became a complete Kindergarten through Eighth Grade institution. As we grow we will continue to build on our academic success.
