FISW blends the best of the curricula from the French Ministry of Education and Washington State, creating a nurturing yet rigorous program that combines the strengths of both methods and philosophies.

​

Children from all over the world (currently, over 20 different nationalities) attend FISW, creating a diverse community where understand and respect for differences is a core tenet. Our children graduate with a world view that has been broadened and enriched both intellectually and culturally.

​

In this unique and dynamic community, children discover their own abilities and talents. Our curriculum includes a rich program of diverse activities, and the small student/teacher ratio provides the youngest of our students with the caring, nurturing environment they need to flourish.

 

This small student/teacher ratio continues as children progress through the school and ensures that our students receive the attention they need to succeed. Our structured curriculum encourages each child’s academic and social development and provides a very special place for children to learn and grow from enthusiastic Petits students to confident Fifth Graders ready for Middle School.
