Give your community access to quality education.
We are proposing to build an education center at the boundary of Washington DC's Wards 5, 6 and 7 to help the surrounding diverse communities access an enriching and stimulating educational experience.
ISM Creative Academy is an early childhood education center project that builds on the renowned student-centric approaches of Montessori and Reggio Emilia, where PK3, PK4, and KG students can be creative and learn independently.
We greatly appreciate your interest to build ISM Creative Academy, and we anticipate having an opening date in Fall 2024. We are inviting families to express interest, and we would be happy if you could help by submitting our parent interest survey.
Our Philosophy
From personal experiences to the world's biggest challenges, we thrive by solving problems. At the core of effective problem-solving is creativity, which is best cultivated through enhanced access to the arts during children's formative years.
Our customized arts-based approach provides an environment where students develop their creativity to prepare them to excel in any field.
"The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't need to be reformed – it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions."
