Collage Day School acquired by International Schools Partnership

Posted

Collage Day School has officially joined the International Schools Partnership (ISP), a globally recognized network of more than 100 schools across 25 countries. ISP has purchased Collage from founder Dr. Katherine Falwell, establishing Collage as ISP’s first school in the region.

ISP selected Collage for its strong reputation in experiential, whole-child learning and its distinctive outdoor-centered educational environment.

“Collage is a truly special school … We are honored to welcome this community into our global family,” said Dr. Amy King, regional managing director for ISP U.S. and Canada.

Collage will retain its name, leadership team, faculty, mission and curriculum philosophy. Day-to-day operations remain unchanged, and all current staff positions are secure. ISP’s role is to strengthen the school through long-term investment, global learning opportunities and access to world-class educational resources.

Collage students and faculty will benefit from:

  • Global learning experiences, cultural exchanges and international collaboration projects.
  • ISP’s Five-Pillar Learning Model supporting academic achievement, multilingualism, life competencies, international opportunities and future pathways.
  • Expanded professional development and networking with educators across more than 112 schools.
  • Long-term investment in programs, facilities and sustainable school growth.

ISP’s entry into the North Florida region brings a level of international programming, academic innovation and global connectivity not currently available in local independent or private schools.

As one of the world’s largest school groups, with a proven model established in 2013, ISP integrates global learning, innovation projects, multilingual initiatives, sustainability and leadership development into each of its campuses.

This partnership positions Collage Day School at the forefront of next-generation education in the Southeast, offering families access to:

  • Cross-country and cross-continent learning experiences
  • Global student challenges and cultural exchanges
  • Internationally benchmarked academic pathways
  • A deep network of educational specialists, coaches and curriculum leaders

With ISP’s backing, Collage is positioned to rise into an elevated tier of private education in the Southeast, combining global-caliber academic resources with the school’s hallmark commitment to experiential learning.

This partnership accelerates Collage’s expansion into a full middle-school program built on high academic integrity, inquiry-driven curriculum and deeply immersive outdoor and project-based learning. ISP’s support also strengthens Collage’s signature focus on health, wellness and holistic child development, ensuring the school continues to stand apart as a model for whole-child education in Northeast Florida.

Falwell said this transition reflects Collage’s natural evolution.

“For Collage to continue growing academically and programmatically, it needs the global connections and resources ISP is uniquely equipped to provide,” she said. “This step preserves everything we cherish about Collage while expanding what is possible for our children and community.”

Founded in 2013, the International Schools Partnership is a rapidly growing global network dedicated to improving student learning across its more than 100 schools in 25 countries.

ISP is known for its investment in long-term school development, international learning opportunities, multilingual initiatives and globally benchmarked academic models. ISP supports each school’s individuality while providing access to world-class educational expertise, training and international programs.

Collage Day School, located in Ponte Vedra Beach, serves students from early childhood through middle school. The school is recognized for its whole-child philosophy, hands-on experiential learning and commitment to nurturing curiosity, confidence and emotional well-being.

Collage’s unique campus integrates outdoor learning, nature-based experiences and a warm community culture that supports both academic growth and personal development.
