Job Description

International School of Brooklyn (ISB) is an independent, non-profit school known for its innovative and robust Pre-K 3 to 8th Grade French and Spanish language immersion programs and International Baccalaureate curriculum. The ISB experience is driven by six core values: inquiry-based learning, diversity, global curriculum, language immersion, community, and international mindedness. Dedication to these values enables ISB to develop each student’s creativity, critical thinking, global citizenship, and intercultural understanding.

International School of Brooklyn is dedicated to ensuring that our commitment to an inclusive and just world is reflected in all aspects of our school: in our classrooms, culture, policies, and practices.
