Bienvenidos! Welcome to the International Spanish Language Academy
The International Spanish Language Academy (ISLA) is a tuition-free, K-5 elementary school that combines full Spanish immersion with an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) World School education.

ISLA is one of only two elementary schools in Minnesota offering both full language immersion and an International Baccalaureate World School education. Strong language acquisition and international-mindedness are hallmarks of an ISLA education. ISLA's model of full language immersion have the greatest success in terms of foreign language development.

ISLA extends its combination of language immersion and IB curriculum to El Nido, a fee-based pre-k program that nurtures and prepares early learners for kindergarten. El Nido de ISLA is one of the only pre-k programs in Minnesota to offer both full Spanish immersion and an International Baccalaureate Early Years Programme.
