Mission
The mission of the International Charter School is to help students develop high
levels of proficiency in two languages, demonstrate high standards of academic
achievement, and exhibit positive cross-cultural attitudes and behaviors. School
activities are conducted in celebration of the diverse languages and cultures
of the communities it serves and in the belief that students, families and
staff are members of a community of learners, engaging in inquiry about the
world, themselves, and others.
