2025-2026 ADMISSIONS SEASON

upper school (6th - 12th grade)

Silicon Valley International School’s International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme is founded on a student-centered approach to teaching and learning. It provides a rigorous bilingual curriculum that blends best practices of the U.S. educational system with the high standards of the national curriculum from China, France, German, and Taiwan. In the Middle Years, INTL has four programs including French/English, Chinese/English, German/English and Upper School Language Acquisition (USLA) in which students take classes in English and learn French.
 
The educational journey of INTL's High School students sets them apart as confident, curious, and resilient graduates of the most comprehensive and sought-after college preparatory program, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. For students in the bilingual program (French, Chinese, or German), the capstone of their bilingual journey at INTl is the IB Bilingual Diploma or IB Advanced Bilingual Diploma, a distinction achieved by fewer than 1/4 of IB Diploma graduates worldwide. INTL's USLA Program immerses students in our international community and provides the opportunity to acquire a new language and cultural fluency, and culminates in the world-renowned IB Diploma. 

Register for one of our upcoming in-person tours or virtual information sessions! Our academic team will help you to gain a deeper understanding of INTL's educational philosophy, mission, core values and community. 

To submit an application, please visit Ravenna. 

We look forward to meeting your family soon!

The IB Mission is to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. Several times over the course of a student’s years at INTL, they are offered opportunities to complete a significant piece of work over an extended period of time and, in each instance, communicate via a written report and reflective journal the outcomes of their efforts. Projects are unique to each student’s personal interests and passions and cover a diverse range of subjects. We hope you will join us to learn more about how these opportunities to explore personal passions build confidence and independence while inspiring life-long pursuits.
