Irvine International Academy Home

It has been a very exciting month at IIA. From the Spelling Bee, to the Winter Concert, and all of the holiday activities, IIA students and staff have been incredibly engaged and busy throughout November and December. As we finish the first half of the school year, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire IIA community. IIA is an exceptional family, where everyone is involved and dedicated to ensuring our students get the best education possible. I can’t express enough how impressed I am with our school and how thankful I am to be part of this amazing community.

Dear IIA Community,

It has been an incredible month at IIA. As many of you already know, our state test scores were publicly released and IIA has the top test scores in Orange County. Our students ranked #1 in both ELA and Science and #2 in math. This is an incredible accomplishment for a school that is only in its 4th year of existence and that teaches 50% of the day in Mandarin! Thank you to our entire IIA community for your hard work and dedication. This success is truly a team effort.
This month also brought several exciting events, including our Halloween Parade. It was great to see our students so excited to show off their costumes and to see all of our parents joining in the fun. Thank you to everyone for a great October! You are PANDA PAWESOME!!

It has been an incredible opening to the 2024-2025 school year and I am extremely proud and excited to be the new Executive Director of Irvine International Academy. It has been wonderful meeting all of our staff, students, and families over the past few weeks and I look forward to continuing to get to know the school and community throughout the year. We have many wonderful activities planned throughout the year to increase student engagement and community, as well as a very rigorous, comprehensive Mandarin dual immersion program to build academic, character, and social and emotional strength in each of our students.
