About Us

Changing schools, countries, continents or cultures is never an easy task for a student. At ISS International School, academic rigour is enhanced by our purposeful and planned focus on student well-being. In keeping with our inclusive philosophy, we conciously maintain small class sizes to ensure high levels of engagement to better support student success. 

Our unique hilltop campus, set in a nature reserve, is a safe haven for our diverse community. This tranquil environment is optimal for learning and encourages creativity, high level thinking, and innovation. Additionally, there are bountiful opportunities to engage in authentic biological and environmental studies.

Educating to Make a Difference has been our vision since 1981. We take immense pride in our individualised approach to learning, nurturing and inspiring each individual to achieve their full potential. What sets our academic leadership team apart is their exceptional qualifications and experience—over half of them possess Doctorates and Masters in Education, and many with more than 20 years experience.

Embodying our school’s ethos of inclusivity, our diverse academic team creates a nurturing environment, prioritising student well-being. Our teachers are dedicated, treating each other like family, and benefit from personal mentoring. An educator entering ISS not only teaches but gains professional growth and thrives alongside the students they lead.
