Since 1997 the Interdistrict School for Arts and Communications (ISAAC) has celebrated its uniqueness as a diverse community of experiential learners. When asked, ISAAC families highlight the social and cultural diversity, the foundational importance of music and the arts to the learning experience, and the focus on individual development as the hallmarks of an ISAAC education. How amazing it is that this educational experience is accessible to, free to, and welcoming of all students in the southeastern Connecticut region! How fortunate it is that ISAAC’s home is the city of New London, a vibrant urban setting teeming with culture, creative intellect, and innovation, and possessing a rich maritime and social history.

The charter school movement is distinguished by an impressive history and by a strong national base of support for the development of innovative public school programs of choice. State of Connecticut funding for charter school students, however, continues to fall short in terms of per pupil allocation. This makes it incumbent upon charter schools to make up for the resultant funding shortfalls. Efforts are ongoing to resolve this issue, which, of course, is exacerbated by a challenging economy. Notwithstanding, a powerful motivator is firm belief in the importance of school choice, in ISAAC’s unique mission, and in the remarkable development of our middle school aged students. We can and we must continue our ongoing and successful efforts to secure funds from private donations and grants.
