Curriculum Overview

Our K-12 curricula consists of three IB programmes and the ISS High School Diploma Programme.

IB Primary Years Programme

The PYP is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 12. The programme focuses on developing the whole child, affecting hearts as well as minds and addressing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic welfare.

IB Middle Years Programme

The MYP is a course of study designed to meet the educational needs of students aged between 11 and 16 years. It provides a broad, traditional foundation of knowledge that encourages students to become creative, critical, and reflective thinkers.

IB Diploma Programme

The Diploma Programme (DP) is a rigorous and very demanding academic programme, designed for highly motivated and determined students wishing to enter highly selective universities.

ISS High School Diploma Programme

The ISS High School Diploma (HSD) programme is an alternative to the IBDP. The programme provides a personalised, two-year American-style curriculum fully accredited and recognised by universities worldwide.

A Culture of Care: Our Kampong Experience

ISS is more than just a school. Each homeroom, known as a Kampong, instils a spirit of togetherness and respect among our students.

Preserving Heritage and Inspiring Innovation

Set in a space with a rich British colonial history dating back to the late 1930s, ISS International School cherishes its heritage and architecture. The beautiful hilltop campus offers students an escape from technology, immersing them in a lush, green garden that enhances creativity and overall well-being.

Small Class Sizes, Big Impact

Our commitment to academic excellence begins with the intentional maintenance of small class sizes. This close-knit community is the foundation of a safe haven where each individual is known, supported, and valued.

Academic Results 2023-2024

The graduating class of 2023-2024 has demonstrated remarkable academic growth throughout their IBDP and HSD journeys. Their commitment to personal development and leadership has left a lasting impact on ISS.
