At ISM, we believe that a premier education paralleled with a healthy and nurturing environment will effectively equip students with the tools they need to succeed in their pursuit of excellence.
Founded in 1985, ISM is a private school located in the heart of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and has been educating students for over 38 years. We believe that our students are future leaders and world changers, and we educate them accordingly.
Our student body is comprised of Preschool-Grade 12 students from the Twin Cities as well as International Boarding students from around the globe. The varied cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds of our community members mirror the diversity of the work and community settings our students will enter after college. The school’s learning environment sets the stage for skills development in collaborative discourse, navigating difference, unconscious bias, inclusion, and belonging, and the cultural agility required of leaders and engaged members of society. Our students possess deep awareness of the world around them and understand what it means to be accountable to themselves, others, and the planet.
