Once inside the school the wonderful multi-colored walls continue throughout making this school, unlike most eggshell white schools like something in that should be in past. With the students artwork lining the hallways you can see the creativity ooze out of these walls. Not only would the fun vibe of the school make you want to enroll your child in this French and Mandarin immersion school, but the children themselves are outgoing and so polite. With only 10-17 children per class you can see these children are being molded into attentive, creative, and brilliant adults. related posts [Social Emotional Learning](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/tag/social-emotional-learning) ##### [Kate's Blog: Suggested reading/listening as we go back to school](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/2011/09/25/kates-blog-suggested-readinglistening-as-we-go-back-to-school) [![recent-blog-post-image](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/hubfs/Miscellaneous/Imported_Blog_Media/Kates-Blog-Waste-Free-Lunch-and-Learning1-2.jpg)](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/2011/04/21/waste-free-lunch-and-learning) [Social Emotional Learning](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/tag/social-emotional-learning) ##### [Waste-Free Lunch and Learning](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/2011/04/21/waste-free-lunch-and-learning) [![recent-blog-post-image](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/hubfs/Miscellaneous/Imported_Blog_Media/back_to_schoo_lunch_box_foods_flickr-1024x1024-1.jpg)](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/2011/10/05/kates-blog-lunch-revised) [Social Emotional Learning](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/tag/social-emotional-learning) ##### [Kate's Blog: Lunch, revised](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/2011/10/05/kates-blog-lunch-revised) ### Silicon Valley International School #### The premier bilingual International Baccalaureate school in the West Coast.
