Be unique - Take Responsibility - Achieve potential

ISSH's tremendous growth and development in terms of student numbers, programme offerings and also facilities has increased the diversity in the school. The discussion about the binding factors in the school triggered a strategy process to define the core values of ISSH. The result is a set of values that unify all sections of the school community. They are guiding principles for our students, for our staff and leadership and for our parents. Download >>

"Shaping the Programmes" is the theme of this newsletter. After the introduction of the DP we are now gaining a clearer view of the end goal for our students. With these goals in sight we are able to fine tune our programmes from the beginning of PYP through MYP to DP in order to maximize the academic success of our students. This fine tuning is mainly taking place in the areas of Mathematics and Science. Download >>

The first four months in the new building have been a very happy and productive time. How did we ever manage without the assembly hall, without the music room, the arts room, the computer room and the library? The move to the new facility last
August was a big leap ahead in the development of ISSH. Download >>
