For over 45 years, Silicon Valley International School (INTL) has provided students with a challenging and dynamic bilingual, inquiry-based education through its Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, and Upper School Language Acquisition (USLA) programs, empowering young minds to embrace complexity, think critically from multiple perspectives, and demonstrate integrity and sensitivity across cultures.
INTL, the premier bilingual International Baccalaureate World School, is authorized to offer the full continuum of the IB through the Diploma Programme in 12th grade.
Its two campuses are located in Menlo Park’s tree-lined Willows neighborhood, and one convenient Palo Alto location close to HWY-101.
The Early Years Center (Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten), Middle and High School is located on our Willows Campus at 475 Pope Street, Menlo Park.
Kindergarten – 5th Grade is located at our Cohn Campus at 151 Laura Lane, Palo Alto.
The school provides a bus service to various Northbound and Southbound stops near HWY 101.
INTL provides an exceptional and nurturing environment for young learners (Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten) and year-round care (which includes a few weeks in the summer) is included in tuition for Preschool and Pre-kindergarten students.
The school is known for its renowned bilingual Elementary School as well as a college-preparatory program in Upper School (6th to 12th).
For students who do not have previous bilingual immersion experience, we invite families to inquire about our Passport (1st – 4th Grades) and Upper School Language Acquisition Programs.
