Built by Teachers, Designed for Families

Jeju Island, South Korea

Born from experience, built for the future.

Growing frustrated with a test-heavy, government-selected curriculum, I left to teach internationally. There, I discovered how the world's top schools empower students through creativity, critical thinking, and a holistic approach to learning.

I brought those lessons home and built the International School of America — a flexible, parent-driven model that combines global best practices with a kind approach to education that prepares every child for both life and career.

— Brian Tupper, Founder

Voices that Inspire Our Community

This isn't just curriculum — it's peace of mind. With ESA and ISA, we finally have flexible, high-quality options that fit our child, instead of forcing them into a one-size-fits-all program.

HeatherParent - Florida – Step Up for Students

ISA makes school fun for me. I get to learn with Flocabulary, create projects through Defined Careers, and add it all to my portfolio — it feels like Netflix, but with lessons.

AlizaLearner - New Hampshire – Education Freedom Account (EFA)

Easiest education decision we've ever made. The tools were ready to go, and my child started learning day one. No stress, no guesswork.

MarciParent - Utah Fits All Scholarship

Our Choice Navigator, Brian, made all the difference. He showed us how to use the curriculum step by step, helped us understand the resources, and made sure our child felt confident getting started. Extremely helpful!
