International School of the Americas--a thrilling video

This video is thrilling to watch. It is a sign of hope for the future of our planet. The staff at ISA can be most proud of their scholarship, passion and belief in the capacity of the students to embrace a hunger for learning and problem solving. Thank you.

This is wonderful that your students can do this! It not only benefit the students but teachers too. I will be taking 25 students to Thailand in December!
