Second SIS Campus Launched

2019 – Irvine, CA

SIS embraced digital learning, creating a fully online campus so students worldwide could access U.S. education without borders.

100% Online Only Campus Founded

2021 – Bellevue, WA

SIS established its Bellevue hybrid campus, combining in-person classes with live, teacher-led online instruction. This marked the beginning of a more flexible academic model — designed not around a system, but around the individual student.

As student needs continued to evolve, SIS expanded beyond traditional classroom structures to provide more personalized learning experiences, including 1:1 and small-group instruction for students who require greater flexibility, focus, and support.

A Fully Personalized K–12 Pathway

SIS completed its full K–12 academic pathway, offering 1:1 and small-group private education for students in grades 4–12, alongside a structured online program for grades K–6.

This expanded model allows students at every stage to access an accredited U.S. education — whether they need a strong early foundation, a flexible and supportive learning environment, or an accelerated academic path.

Today, SIS continues to evolve with one guiding principle: education should be built around the student — not the system.

“Redefining school for students who don’t fit the traditional system.”
