Class of 2012
Studying at Columbia University
My Favorite ISD Memory: Nobody ever really lets go of ISD. Whether you stayed for 1 year or were there from preschool to 12th grade, ISD remains ingrained within you and you leave the school knowing that you have truly made friends for life -- without exaggeration. You gain not only a great education, but the invaluable skill of knowing how to cultivate and maintain significant relationships. My top memories from ISD are SIPS, Week Without Walls 12th grade service trip, WAISAL and the Kedougou Field Trip.
