2027-28 TUITION ANNOUNCEMENT
The ISG Board has adopted the budget for the 2027-28 school year and it is now published on the ISG website. The budget process is a careful consideration by leadership and the Board of the many factors necessary to support the most relevant and appropriate learning for our students on our campuses.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and trusting ISG with the education of your children.
MPS BECOMES THE ARENA
Thank you to everyone in the ISG community who shared a name suggestion and took the time to provide input on what the new MPS facility should represent. Your ideas and feedback helped inform the Board’s decision on the name of the MPS.
After reviewing the submissions and considering the purpose and future of the facility, the ISG Board voted to name the MPS “The Arena.”
The name is inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s well-known Man in the Arena speech, which speaks to the courage, effort and perseverance required to step into life’s challenges. The name reflects our commitment to preparing students not only for what comes next academically, but for the challenges and opportunities they will encounter throughout their lives.
We are grateful to our community for helping shape our views on this important space. We look forward to bringing The Arena to life and creating a facility that supports our students as they learn, compete, perform, collaborate and prepare to step into their own arenas.
ISG COMMUNITY
COMING SUMMER 2027: ISG SUMMER CAMPS - SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH US
Something new is being planned at ISG next summer!
ISG is planning to launch ISG Summer Camps 2027, offering engaging, in-person summer experiences designed for students to explore interests, develop new skills, stay active and connect with friends. We are exploring a range of experiences including robotics, STEM, sports, swimming, arts, design, languages and more.
As we consider our plans for Summer 2027, we want to hear from our families. We invite you to complete a brief Family Interest Survey to help us better understand your interest, preferred dates and schedules, types of camp experiences, and other factors that are important to your family.
The survey will take approximately 3–5 minutes to complete.
Your feedback will help shape our planning as we develop an ISG Summer Camp for 2027. More information about dates, camp offerings, registration and costs will be shared near winter break.
Please complete the ISG Summer Camps 2027 Family Interest Survey by October 4, 2026.
Thank you for your engagement and input.
An exciting summer together is coming to ISG!
