• The International school is a choice lottery school in the Bellevue School District that serves students in grades 6-12. Students attend classes in a block schedule, which encompasses seven subjects throughout their seven years in attendance, which ensures a deep and sustained focus on core learning.

• Graduates from the International take an average of seven Advanced Placement courses and students can earn college credit in math, computer science, and technology as well. Students complete an extensive capstone Senior Project, which involves deep learning in an area of student choice, internships, community service, and assessment by an expert panel.

• The International School was able to go 1:1 with students and laptops in 2014 and the integration of technology for learning has been strong and positive. Each spring students participate in a week-long Focus Week, which acts as an in-depth career exploration elective. Technology and career education are embedded in the overall program, with a focus on learning in application, to mirror what students will have to do in a college and workplace setting.
