About the Project

A redesigned space for Science Learning

The new Science Labs will be completely redesigned to better support our students in their inquiry-based learning of Chemistry and Biology, equipping students with the skills needed for their future.

Professional Lab Furniture

The new Labs will be equipped with professional lab furniture, designed to be immune to oxidation and rust. The furniture features excellent mechanical and thermal durability, along with high resistance to impact, chemical agents, and ultraviolet rays.

Scientific Technology

Students gain a deeper understanding of science through a combination of daily demonstrations and highly interactive experiments. With the purchasing of new world-class lab equipment this learning environment will encourage even more a love for science at ISC.

"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 the High School Science Labs, our high school students and science teachers (as the primary users of this new learning space) suggested numerous details and improvements to better meet their needs.

Inquiry-Based Learning

Teaching for the Future means actively involving students in the learning process, facilitating genuine connections to the real world through exploration and thought-provoking inquiries.

This approach not only encourages problem-solving but also emphasizes experiential learning, providing students with valuable hands-on experiences that enhance their understanding and skills.

With our donors, we implemented more than 51 projects in 11 years.

We are proud to showcase the continuous progress of our school, made possible by the generosity of our donors.
