all students toward becoming conscientious, compassionate, and responsible
citizens of the world by:

Monterey Peninsula and the County
- Creating a strong sense of self-motivation in all students to
discover and develop their uniqueness while striving to reach their
full potential
- Incorporating proven standards and effective practices using
a recognized and innovative international curriculum
- Generating a multicultural environment that promotes respect,
understanding and appreciation of diversity
- Building a strong partnership with home and community
- Developing the whole child including adaptability, self-confidence,
autonomy and creativity.
The International School of Monterey is employing an innovative
elementary curriculum, the International Primary Curriculum (IPC
- www.internationalprimarycurriculum.com). While the educational
approach used in ISM is based on the precepts of the IBO, the content
taught includes the curriculum specified by the curriculum standards
