Message from Our Principal
Hello ISANA Nascent Families,
I am delighted to introduce myself as your new principal at ISANA Nascent Academy – Jefferson Campus! It is a privilege to serve the students and staff of our school, and I am excited to work alongside you to create a thriving educational environment.
As an educator and servant leader, I have a deep commitment to this community. Having spent summers in the Mid City area and starting my teaching career at View Park High School, I am grateful for the opportunity to bring my seventeen years of experience in education to ISANA Nascent Academy. I believe every child has unique strengths and can excel in a nurturing environment with dedicated educators and passionate advocates.
During your child’s formative years, my goal is to support the mission and vision of our school. I will honor, challenge, engage, and support each student’s unique learning style, while also fostering a sense of belonging and connection within our school community. I am committed to being highly visible and accessible to students, staff, and families.
I look forward to building a strong, united community and cultivating a school culture of excellence. Thank you for the warm welcome and for entrusting me with the education and well-being of your children.
Sincerely,
Mr. Ian Eddy

Thinking About ISANA for Your Child?
WHAT FAMILIES, STUDENTS, AND
EDUCATORS ARE SAYING
“My daughter is biracial (half Jamaican, half Salvadorian), and from day one, ISANA has welcomed her with open arms, allowing her to proudly embrace and celebrate her rich and vibrant cultural heritage. Every staff member treats her like family, and whether she’s greeted by a “Good morning” or a “Buenos días,” she knows that she is loved and supported, and that she can always be her true, authentic self.”
Nastassja Tyrell
ISANA Parent
“Every student, every family, every educator, is a special member of the ISANA family, and every day, when I walk into my school, I get to be a part of a community, make a difference in the lives of my students and their families, and work among colleagues – friends – who support, respect, and value each other.”
Jill Parago
ISANA Teacher
"Our experience as an ISANA family has been absolutely wonderful! There’s an unparalleled sense of community and school pride here. Our eldest daughter attended ISANA Nascent and her two younger siblings are now there too! The teachers have been amazing, the yard and front office staff are always welcoming, and we love the small school feel!"
