about us

The Lion Ledger is a creative newspaper that is made for students, by students, which will be published both online and in print. We cover the lifestyle, art, and culture of students at ISA Science City. As the official newspaper of ISA Science City, our primary purpose will be to enlighten the wider school community by highlighting student accomplishments, keeping everyone informed about events at ISA, and establishing a better environment for students to voice their sincere opinions or concerns. However, we also seek to inform students about local, national, and worldwide happenings that impact their welfare, like the implementation of new laws and cases of social injustice. 

​

Our 4 Sections Include: 

Feature, Narrative, Arts & Culture, and Lifestyle, here’s what to expect from our editors:

​

What is Feature?

“The Lion Ledger Features welcomes long-form pieces—both journalistic and narrative, personal and research-based—on just about any subject you have something to say about. We've published writing about the Nobel awards, teenage mental health, MYP and DP,  just to name a few! Our articles combine a writer's personal voice with outside sources to create detailed nonfiction writing that reflects a wide range of interests and perspectives.”

​

What is Narrative?

"The Narrative section welcomes writers looking to share their stories, with a special emphasis on personal narratives, works of creative personal pieces, and anecdotes or musings about life! Through these stories, we hope to reflect a wide range of lived experiences and perspectives in our student community."

​

What is Arts & Culture?

“Are you always talking about your latest music/film/pop culture obsession? Are your friends sick of it? Tell the Arts & Culture section about it instead! We're looking to share your stories, reflections, and commentaries on the ways that arts and culture have shaped your experiences. We want to highlight all genres and interpretations to bring out the essential role that arts and culture play in connecting us to each other and the world around us.”

What is Lifestyle?

“The lifestyle section is looking for writers who want to share guides, advice, and experiences about ISA Science City, student life, and community activism. We welcome a wide range of article ideas, writing styles, and perspectives. We aim to develop creative content (articles, quizzes, photos, word searches) that students can relate to and find useful or entertaining in their daily lives!”

FAQs!

​

What is the backpage?

Comprised of 2 sections, the backpage is a staple of the Lion Ledger’s publications that gives you the weekly overview in a sweeping glance: the hot 'Lion Ledger' time machine that honors and echoes notable quotes from articles past, and the ever-iconic Top 10 lists generated by our talented crew weekly. On it you’ll find (both?) brevity and the soul of wit.

​

Is the Lion Ledger an online publication?

Lion Ledger has historically publicized print editions only. However, we are expanding our accessibility at ISA Science City, by having an online presence in the form of online articles and our issuu reservoir. As of 2024 May, we have launched our own independent website where you can find our weekly publications, editor’s notes, backpages, and previous publications all in one place!
