Why We Love International Leadership Academy (ILA) — And Think You Will Too
At Macaroni KID West Portland - Lake Oswego, we love spotlighting local gems — and the International Leadership Academy (ILA) is one of our favorites.
Located in Lake Oswego, ILA is the region’s only U.S. and French-accredited school, serving children from 10 weeks to 6th grade since 2010.
🌍 Language Immersion
Students experience full-day French immersion with native-speaking teachers and begin Spanish in preschool — helping them build language skills, cultural fluency, and empathy for life.
🌿 Outdoor Learning
ILA’s Forest School takes learning outside the classroom with hands-on exploration, nature-based learning, and exciting field trips to places like OMSI and Mount Hood.
🎯 Enrichment That Inspires
From robotics and martial arts to guitar, chess, and comic book club, ILA’s after-school programs are designed to spark curiosity and confidence.
❤️ A Caring, Connected Community
With small class sizes, qualified teachers (even in daycare!), and home-cooked lunches, ILA offers a nurturing environment focused on respect, leadership, and integrity.
