our mission
Silicon Valley International School's focus on inquiry and bilingualism empowers young minds to embrace complexity, think critically from multiple perspectives, and demonstrate integrity and sensitivity across cultures.
Early Years Center (Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten) at Silicon Valley International School sets a strong foundation for bilingual immersion, discovery and innovation. It is the ideal start for young students to thrive in an international environment and build academic success through the elementary school years and beyond.
Our Kindergarten through 5th grade program empowers students to explore, discover, and create through a series of rich and varied learning experiences built around engaging bilingual curricula in Chinese (Mandarin)/English, French/English and German/English. Silicon Valley’s best international and bilingual elementary school program lays the foundation for students to become self-directed and independent lifelong learners, engaged global citizens, and inquirers with the capacity to see issues and ideas from multiple perspectives.
Our middle school program is founded on a student-centered approach to teaching and learning. It provides a rigorous bilingual academic curriculum that blends the best practices of the U.S education system with the high standards of the French national curriculum and curricula influenced by China, Taiwan, and Germany. Middle School is also an opportunity for students with no prior immersion experience to join our for our Upper School Language Acquisition program.
