Collective giving enriches the ISP learning experience with unique programmes and exceptional resources.
The Power of Collective Giving
Last year, one in three members of our community made a gift to ISP. Collectively these gifts are enriching the unique ISP learning experience with incredible opportunities that tuition alone can not provide, from extraordinary events like the recent concert by the Jazz Dock Orchestra to magical discoveries during gardening sessions to breakthroughs in coding, and much more.
Grade 4 has recently launched their “Sharing the Planet” Unit of Inquiry, where they delve into various ecosystems worldwide. During the initial curriculum planning, teachers were inspired by the idea of students experiencing these ecosystems firsthand. Fortunately, we have a set of top-notch VR goggles to make this a reality!
These tools support students’ curiosity and inquiry while building their real-world skills in coding, design, creative arts, and more. These skills develop in complexity and interactivity as our students move up in age and readiness.
Your gifts through the ISP Fund have enhanced the experience and programmes for our students, including the purchase and implementation of new cutting-edge tools for our Design, Robotics, and Technology Programme, such as the Dobot Robot Arms.
These tools support students’ curiosity and inquiry while building their real-world skills in coding, design, creative arts, and more. These skills develop in complexity and interactivity as our students move up in age and readiness.
In January of 2023, we were delighted to welcome Aaron Moniz, educational consultant and co-founder of the organization, Inspire Citizens, to ISP. Over the course of his one-week visit, Aaron worked with educators, students, and parents, to support the ISP mission of Inspiring, Engaging, and Empowering all learners to be Curious- Competent-Compassionate Changemakers! It was an incredible week for our community, with many students feeling excited and empowered to progress with their projects for ISP Changemaker Grants, supported by ISP Fund.
One of the main aims of Outdoor Learning in Elementary School is to get students up close to nature, and you can’t get much closer than a worm in your hand! Contributions to the ISP Fund help us work towards this goal by providing additional resources such as gardening equipment, observational tools, and reference books.
The ISP music program engages and inspires students to make music and understand and appreciate live music. We are grateful for the donations of our community to the ISP Fund, in the area of Performing Arts, which sponsored the recent visit to campus by the Prague-based professional Big Band, the Jazz Dock Orchestra!
Design classes are new to the ISP Middle School this year, an addition to the schedule that offers all students an introduction to many exciting design aspects. In the unit “Designing for Others,” students will learn about the design process and design thinking and apply this knowledge to a real-world problem. In their second Unit of Design Inquiry, students will explore the world of robotics and coding using the new Lego Spike Prime system, purchased thanks to the generosity of our community through the ISP Fund. These STEM-ready Lego units engage the students in the basics of coding while tapping into their problem-solving and creative skills.
Our ISP community is a place of many voices, each accompanied by countless stories. Through this podcast, Falcons on Air, we hope to share the voices and stories of fascinating and inspiring individuals with our community. All Podcast equipment was purchased from the ISP Fund.
Imagine learning about outer space by stepping on the moon, exploring its nearby craters, and gazing at the stars. How about a trip to Paris and a stroll through the Louvre to spark an interest in the visual arts? These experiences are happening now at ISP. Over the last few weeks, our Tech and Innovation Coaches have unveiled the newest addition to the Idea Lab: the VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) headsets purchased from gifts to the ISP Fund. These incredible devices can transport students to any location on earth (or beyond!), presenting opportunities that inspire the imagination and bring learning to life on a whole new level.
