Description

The Isabela Oceanographic Institute (IOI) is a Florida-based non-profit organization which operates on Isabela Island in the Galapagos. Isabela is the largest island physically, but has one of the smallest populations with around 2500 permanent residents. Here, the organization strives to merge higher education with community development through locally driven social and environmental projects.

Each school year, IOI provides the 2 elementary and middle schools with about 330 students total in nine grade levels and the local high school grades K9  K12 with about 250 students with a program consultant working in curiculum development and teacher training.
