Lifelong learning
We believe that learning goes beyond the time we spend at school.
At ISP schools, we equip our students with the knowledge, tools, and mindset to develop skills for life.
International opportunities
We offer our students opportunities to participate in our International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS) programmes. ISP students around the world have the chance to connect with each other through our specially designed beyond-the-classroom experiences.
Discover our ILOS programmes
*Programmes may be subject to availability according to school and region.
ILOS programmes are a chance for students to pursue their passions and develop their skills while learning how to be confident, global citizens. From leading a film crew, to taking the first steps into unknown cultures, each of our ILOS programmes is designed to shape our students’ life skills.
