Silicon Valley International School

Summer is here at INTL! ☀️ Our campers are building on the language skills they developed during the school year, while also enjoying art, games, and play!

Congratulations to the 8th Grade Class of 2026! Last night's ceremony marked an exciting milestone in their academic journey. Throughout their time at INTL, the 8th Grade Class of 2026 has embodied our C.O.R.E. Values of community, openness, resilience, and empathy. Highlights included student speakers from the USLA, Chinese, French, and German programs, along with a musical performance by the entire class. We wish our graduates all the best as they begin high school this fall! 🎓

Last week, INTL held its annual PYPx! The event showcases each student’s Primary Year Programme journey through a cumulative project. Each project contained a Central Idea which guides their research and is presented in both English and the student's target language to the INTL community and families. At the end of the evening students received their Primary Year Programme Certificate of Completion. Let's give our 5th Grade PYPx 2026 presenters a round of applause! 👏

As we celebrate the remarkable achievements of the Class of 2026, we are proud to recognize the dedication, resilience, and growth that have defined their journey at INTL. Take a moment to read this recent article from "The Almanac," which highlights our graduating seniors and the Commencement ceremony honoring their accomplishments.

Students on both Willows and Cohn Campuses hosted Celebration of Learning Showcases last month! Centered around the PYP themes of “How We Express Ourselves” and “How We Organize Ourselves,” students from Preschool through 4th Grade shared their learning outcomes with family and friends through interactive art exhibits, elaborate geographical displays, and dynamic performances. It was a proud moment for our Dragons as they showcased their learning and celebrated their growth with loved ones.

Yesterday, Silicon Valley International School proudly celebrated the Commencement of the High School class of 2026. The ceremony honored their accomplishments and the completion of their journey as International Baccalaureate (IB) students. Each of the graduating students received a strong, rigorous bilingual education within an international community that provided them with individualized attention, encouragement to discover and follow their passions, and effective preparation for higher education. Highlights of the event included the presentation of the IB Student of the Year Award to Silja F.; a graduand address by Cem K.; the presentation of the The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Gold Award to Lucas P., Yarah H-T., and Silja F.; and special musical performances by the INTL Band featuring our talented seniors. Congratulations Class of 2026!

We also wish our students who are taking a gap year, or tending to their other duties as citizens of other countries next year the very best.

Two nights, three languages, and a stage full of incredible talent!

A huge round of applause to our amazing INTL 8th Graders for their spectacular performances last week at the Cubberley Theater with the annual 8th Grade plays. Over two unforgettable nights, our students brought the power of bilingualism to life, showcasing not just their incredible language fluency, but their deep comprehension of complex texts and artistic expression.

The first night's audience was treated to a double feature of dramatic artistry with the Chinese Program's performance of The Legend of ShangHe Town (上河演义) and the German Programs's production of Sherlock Holmes: Das getupfte Band (The Speckled Band). The following evening, the French Program and Upper School Language Acquisition Program captivated the theater with their compelling performance of Dans la tête de Jean-Baptiste (Inside Jean-Baptiste's Head).

A massive thank you to the dedicated teachers, directors, crew, and parents who supported this production behind the scenes.

INTL’s 7th and 8th Grade students showcased their creativity, curiosity, and scientific spirit at this year’s International Science Exhibit. From hands-on experiments to innovative designs and awareness projects, each display reflected the passion and hard work our students poured into their explorations. Thank you to our parent judges, student volunteers, and supportive families who helped make the night a celebration of discovery and learning.
