San Francisco's leading
bilingual and international school rebrands as The International
School of San Francisco to reflect
its diverse community and international educational
programs.
SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- French
American International School and International High School, a
leader in bilingual and international education since 1962, is
excited to announce its name change to The International School of
San Francisco, effective
immediately, as the 2024-2025 academic year begins.
This name change reflects the school's commitment to its vibrant
international community while continuing to honor its bilingual
French heritage. The school's foundational ethos and
educational offerings remain the same.
The International School of San
Francisco is recognized as a pioneer in bilingual and
international education. They are San
Francisco's largest bilingual school, and the first school
west of the Mississippi and the
fourth in the United States to
adopt the prestigious International Baccalaureate program.
"Our bilingual heritage runs deep, and we proudly hold the title
of San Francisco's largest
bilingual school," said Head of School Melinda Bihn in a recent interview. "Our
commitment to bilingualism remains steadfast, and the name change
reflects the vibrant international community we serve. Families
from diverse backgrounds choose us for our unique blend of French
and English education in a global context. As we equip students to
navigate the complexities of the world and inspire change, our
desire for a name change reflects our dedication to embodying this
global perspective."
The school's longstanding reputation for academic rigor and
global-mindedness will continue to thrive under its new banner,
supporting students from across the San
Francisco Bay Area and its many international communities.
French is not a requirement for admission to PK2-K and the high
school, grades 9-12.
To coincide with the name change, the International School of
San Francisco launched a new
website, accessible through the current URL. The website offers
prospective parents and students rich insights into the school's
mission, values, programs, and admissions processes. The
International School of San
Francisco invites parents, students, and the community to
explore its enriching educational opportunities as it continues to
foster critical thinking, compassion, and global citizenship in its
students.
