"IN 2003, Indooroopilly State High School became only the third Queensland school to be granted an accreditation by the Council of International Schools. Indooroopilly shares the prestigious accreditation with other schools such as Geelong Grammar, the International School of Paris and the United Nations School in New York."〕 ==History== The School, founded by Monique Porter, who wanted an English-speaking school for her young daughter, began in a private building under the name of Pershing Hall in 1964. Pershing Hall grew rapidly and soon expanded its curriculum from kindergarten to grade 8. Mrs. Jannick Jones, who started the school with Mrs. Porter, was the first Headmistress and gave the basic philosophy to the school. She taught mathematics and French, and at the same time was cooking lunch for the students on a gas stove. In 1975, the School settled in 96bis rue du Ranelagh and changed its name to the International School of Paris. In 1983, ISP’s middle and high school was moved into 7 rue Chardin. Finally, in 1985, the School expanded into 6 rue Beethoven, which was the former art school of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, built around 1930. In 1982 the school became an International Baccalaureate School.〔"(International School of Paris )." International School of Paris.

At that year the Japanese became the largest group at the school, with 19% of the students. In 1992 Americans made up 15% of the students. In 1992 the annual tuition had risen to 74,750 francs, a 3% increase.〔Neher, Jacques.

Retrieved on January 3, 2014.〕 By 2004, the School had 483 students, and was running all three IB programmes (PYP, MYP and IB Diploma). Additional space was needed to accommodate the planned growth to approximately 650 students, resulting in the acquisition of two new buildings: 13 rue Beethoven for the Secondary School, and 98 rue du Ranelagh for the Primary School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.isparis.edu/uploaded/Documents/publications/HISTORY_OF_THE_SCHOOL-TRIB_version_2__2_.pdf )〕 Today, the school enrolls more than 700 students representing over 60 nationalities and 52 languages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International School of Paris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
