INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF AMERICA
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF AMERICA is a public high school that is part of the NORTH EAST ISD school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 488 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 23 teachers, INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF AMERICA has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
The **International School of the Americas (ISA)**, located on the campus of Robert E. Lee High School (now Legacy of Educational Excellence High School) in San Antonio, is a specialized magnet school within the North East Independent School District (NEISD). It is designed to provide a rigorous, globally-focused education that emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, community service, and international awareness. The school operates on a "small school" model, fostering a tight-knit academic community where students engage in project-based learning and collaborative research to prepare for the demands of higher education.
The curriculum at ISA is notable for its commitment to developing "global citizens," often incorporating components of the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy and an emphasis on world languages and cultures. By focusing on critical thinking and real-world application, the school encourages students to look beyond the classroom and understand their role in a diverse society. Because it functions as a magnet program, it attracts motivated students from across the district who are seeking an intensive, college-preparatory environment that balances academic excellence with a strong sense of social responsibility.
