Ikastola History

Boiseko Ikastola, the only Basque pre-school outside of the Basque Country, began in 1998 with accreditation by the City of Boise. The school boasted record enrollment and great participation during the 2005-06 school year.

Euskera is the language spoken at this total-immersion program, but not all of the children are of Basque heritage. It is a common belief that children learning a second language during the early stages of their lives develop important cognitive skills and will be better able to learn additional languages as they grow. A nurturing atmosphere, an accredited preschool, an experienced staff - Boiseko Ikastola, is poised to continue to improve its services and facilities to the community.

Boiseko Ikastola has participated in Albertson’s Community Partner project for a number of years. The Ikastola ID# is 49000109391 and can be added to your Preferred Card so that when it’s swiped Boiseko Ikastola will receive much-needed funds as a participant in the program.
