ISC Advancement
Innovative projects that facilitate authentic learning experiences.
All Advancement Projects are funded through donations from the ISC Community.
This school year we are raising funds for two projects. As funds raised meet the project goal, we move from project 1 to project 2.
Chemistry and Biology High School Labs Project
Project 1
Creating new Modern Learning Science Labs
This school year your donation will ensure our high-quality teaching and learning of science principles is matched with a modern learning space.
In these Chemistry and Biology labs, our students explore their curiosity, conduct groundbreaking experiments, and develop innovative IB projects, all in a dynamic, well-equipped environment.
These robust new labs will include new equipment, professional lab furniture, and a redesigned space to enhance students’ learning.

Project 2
Interactive Technology for Modern Learning
This school year, your donations will allow our Middle School Classrooms to have a 75″ Interactive Smart TV plus sliding white boards to enhance modern learning.
ISC is designing a future-ready learning environment where smart technology supports deeper engagement, collaboration, and personalized student growth.
Word from a Donor
“ISC is an amazing school today because of donations done in the past. Donations really make a difference, it creates multiple opportunities for our children to learn and find what they are passionate about. Generosity has always been part of ISC’s history, and donations are how we keep this legacy alive.”

A Student and Teacher-Centered Design Process
Here at ISC, we have a special design process that is highly collaborative. Teachers, students, and staff all become part of this process, fostering a sense of belonging and collaboration towards creating a new learning space.
During the planning process for every Advancement Project, our students and teachers (as the primary users of our learning environments) have active participation, sharing suggestions, insights, and improvements to better meet their needs.
