Irvine International Academy Home

Irvine International Academy has been named a 2025 California Distinguished School. This designation is the state’s top honor for schools. This prestigious award is for exceptional student performance and we qualified based on achieving exemplary performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and math, while also demonstrating strong student engagement and positive school climate. IIA was one of only two charter schools and one of only 44 elementary schools in Orange County to receive this award. This is an incredible honor and a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, staff, and families.

Join us on Friday, May 2nd at the Great Park for a fun and entertaining Dance Party to Support IIA.

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!!
