The Interdistrict School for Arts And Communication (ISAAC) is a public state charter school that received its charter from the Connecticut State Board of Education in 1997. ISAAC was founded by parents to reduce racial and economic isolation. ISAAC opened its doors that fall to 45 new sixth grade students from 12 districts in southeastern Connecticut, in rented space at the Shiloh Family Life Center. The next two years, a new sixth grade was added, making it a full middle school with 115 students in grades 6-8 in he 1999-2000 school year.

Shortly before the 2001-2002 school year, the State Board renewed ISAAC's charter after 4 years of proven success. During the 2004-2005 school year, ISAAC moved to its own home at 190 Governor Winthrop Boulevard in New London and grew to 180 middle school students.  At the end of the 2005-2006 school year, ISAAC graduated its 7th class of eighth grade students who have gone on to high schools throughout the state and beyond.
