This is the final local meet for our MS/HS athletes for this season, and our varsity team is now in final preparations for the IASAS track meet at Jakarta. Last Saturday ISM hosted a Badminton Invitational for our MS/HS teams and the day was very successful with some high quality matches being played at both levels. A big thanks to our Badminton Coaches and Triz Gonzales from the ATAC office for assisting with the running of this event.

From the Modern Language Dept: Summer Language Study / Home-stay / Travel Program to SPAIN The ISM High School Modern Language Department is pleased to announce its Summer Language Study / Home-stay / Travel Program to Spain from June 6th to July 4th 2009 for students aged 13 to 19 years old. The program aims to develop students’ language proficiency and to broaden his/her cultural knowledge. This program is being offered in cooperation with Escuela Internacional Madrid (TANDEM), a school in Madrid and San Sebastian, Spain. Students will continue learning and, more importantly, will practice Spanish through total immersion in the classes and during the home-stay. The school finds families for students to stay with, assists in locating appropriate local resources for the group’s activities, plans outings, maintains a list of local medical and emergency resources, and helps with the orientation for group leaders. The language course proposal is to have 4 class sessions (45 minutes each) of language and culture from Monday to Friday, from 09.30 to 13.00 each day (with a break from 11.00 to 11.30). The classes will include language and culture subjects as well as adequate preparation for the cultural visits. Students will complete a placement test in order for the school to form groups based on the level of Spanish. Last year, 15 students from ISM traveled to Spain and all of them reported dramatic improvements in their acquisition of the Spanish language as well as outstanding experiences with their home-stay families and one another during their time in Spain. If you are interested in receiving more information about this summer course, please contact Laurie Atilano or Samantha Ramos in the High School Office, or email Adriana Vargas at
