Melanie Tennyson, Head of School at ISL, explains, “Fabulous Fortnight is a unique opportunity for our Middle School students to step outside the usual classroom environment and engage in diverse and dynamic learning experiences. These are not your typical school days; instead, they are designed to incorporate core academic standards into creative and explorative settings. Our ISL Uptown Campus teachers do a tremendous job of providing these opportunities to students.”
