International School of Beaverton Thomas is really excited because he just got accepted to the International School of Beaverton this fall. We can't believe he will be in middle school already!
According to the school website, ISB opened in September 2006 and currently serves students in grades 6-10. It will add an additional grade each year, ultimately becoming a 6-12 school in 2009. ISB is a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IB MYP, grades 6– 10) and an Applicant School for the IB Diploma Program (grades 11–12). ISB offers Chinese, Japanese and Spanish and emphasizes the importance of a global education and understanding and responsible citizenship. The curriculum focuses on the skills of learning how to learn, question and communicate. ISB also embraces intellectual rigor, intercultural respect, and service to the local and world communities.
He is excited to learn Spanish and the fact that a couple of his neighborhood friends will be attending also. Congrats Thomas!

Wow! That's amazing! I didn't even know they had an IB program for the middle schools. How long has that been going on? Good for you!
