The Fund for Excellence is used each year to support ISB’s core values during the current year. It provides funding for field trips, professional development, and classroom resources. Similarly to all independent schools, tuition only covers the foundation of ISB’s operations. The Fund for Excellence allows ISB to further support every aspect of an ISB education, giving our students unique and exceptional opportunities to learn and grow into knowledgeable, compassionate, action-oriented leaders and adventurers. Gifts to the Fund for Excellence are put to use immediately to support the current year of operations.
Capital Initiatives go above and beyond the Fund for Excellence to support specific improvements that have been identified within our Strategic Plan. The gifts made towards Capital Initiatives enhance teaching and learning with specific investments in our program. ISB’s last capital campaign, the Campaign for Today and Tomorrow concluded in June of 2016. The money it raised was used to outfit the North Building and make physical improvements to the West Building, including building the Learning Commons.
