ISA was the first school in the world to offer a complete International Baccalaureate curriculum from Pre-School to Grade 12. Today, ISA has close to 1,200 enrolled students, representing over 60 different nationalities, who are dedicated to the mission 'To Educate for International Understanding'.

As an independent, non-profit foundation, all efforts are focused on creating a vibrant, global community of lifelong learners. ISA offers an Early Years Programme (ages 2-3), the IB Primary Years Programme (ages 3-12), IB Middle Years Programme (ages 12-16) and the IB Diploma Programme (ages 16-18). ISA has been a pioneer in international education for decades.

Teachers, parents, students and staff don't just enter a building where teaching and learning happen day-to-day but join a tradition of international understanding and IB education that has flourished over generations. ISA's educational philosophy is centred around "Developing Minds, Character and Communities".

School values

Approaches to Learning

Learning how to learn, and reflect on what has been learned, is fundamental to the learning process across all age groups. Learners are empowered to become self-regulated, autonomous inquirers with the capacity to establish their own goals, pursue their aspirations and have the determination and resilience to achieve them. These skills support the development of learner agency, encouraging engagement in and understanding of learning as a dynamic process. There are five categories of skills which span the IB continuum:

• Communication skills

• Research skills

• Self-management skills

• Social skills

• Thinking skills

It's a good school with a challenging education however it is very expensive and many see it as not worth it. It does have good teachers and a very nice and welcoming campus. I do recommend this school if you are sure you can 100% afford it. If not I recommend the AICS!!!!
