As an IB World School we believe in a whole-child approach to learning at GIS Portland. Through the framework of the IB Primary Years Programme and language immersion in German or Chinese, students at GIS are globally-minded, adaptive, independent thinkers who grow to become lifelong learners.
In this immersion setting, our youngest students play, explore, and discover in a hands-on, inquiry-based environment. Kindergarteners build upon this experience with a continued emphasis on curiosity and play while learning to be more confident and independent learners.
Our grade school students benefit from integrated learning opportunities across their subject areas. It’s an educational experience that is academically challenging, cross-cultural, and encourages curiosity, empathy, cooperation, and bilingualism.
If you are looking for a holistic approach to teaching, along with learning another language GIS may be the school for your child. Come take a tour and see who we are.

Embrace the World!
Now, more than ever, we need to teach our children, tomorrow’s global leaders, how to approach challenging issues with empathy and compassion.
Welcome to the International School of Portland. For over thirty years, we’ve offered full language and cultural immersion in a warm, loving environment that encourages curiosity and kindness.
We are one of only two schools in the United States to provide three full language immersion programs—Mandarin, Japanese and Spanish—under one roof. We were the first school in the Pacific Northwest to become a renowned International Baccalaureate World School.
We nurture children’s natural love of learning by inspiring them to ask questions, pursue the concepts that interest them, and to share their knowledge with others. Our teachers are master facilitators, guiding students through their educational journeys while also ensuring that our academic standards are met.
Because of our multi-language and cultural environment, our campus is a global microcosm, helping to shape children who are open-minded, empathetic, kind, patient and tolerant——traits that encourage them take responsible action within and beyond our school community.
