A School for Our Future


Fully accredited by The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and The Council of International Schools (CIS), the International School of Monterey (ISM) is located on the picturesque and scenic Monterey Bay, which provides an excellent resource for research and study by ISM students. ISM offers an exceptional international academic and extracurricular program for children in grades K - 8. First opened in September 2001, ISM has added at least one grade each year, with the possibility of extending through grade 12 in the future. The mission, philosophy, and curriculum of the International School of Monterey fulfills for school age children what Monterey represents for adults through its unique higher education institutions and its international and multicultural businesses.

ISM is a non-profit, co-educational English-language, public charter school, open to all applicants. Admission is based on an open lottery system.

ISM was created to bring world class international education to a public school setting; to integrate best practices, established standards, and international curriculum; maintain a multicultural environment that advances understanding and respect for all; and promote strong partnerships among school, home, and community. With full community involvement, ISM has developed a comprehensive Strategic Plan, which will guide its ongoing efforts at improvement.
