International School of America

A KIND Mission

International School of America's Mission: "To drive positive change in the world by fostering kindness, creativity, championing sustainability, and empowering the next generation of leaders."

As a global online school, we recognize the unique opportunity to nurture a generation of KIND leaders who will shape a better future. By embedding KIND values throughout our curriculum and community, we inspire students to embrace lifelong learning, uplift others, overcome challenges, and champion diversity on a global scale.

Kind people are lifelong learners. They embrace history's lessons, even the difficult ones, and recognize the power of science, even when it stumbles. They seek new knowledge daily, understanding that ignorance is not bliss.

Kind people draw inspiration from acts of compassion, big and small, and their own acts of kindness become stories that uplift and empower others.

Kind people are resilient. They refuse to be defined by setbacks. Every stumble is a chance to rise stronger, wiser, and more compassionate. They understand that the path to growth is paved with both triumphs and trials.

Kindness knows no boundaries. We are united by our shared humanity, transcending differences to create a stronger, more resilient society where everyone feels valued and respected.
