A teacher’s perspective Name: Fiona Edwards Role: Head of ESL ( Kindergarten to Grade 12)

The strength of ISS is its community. We are a small- to medium-sized school, which translates to a very friendly, student-centred atmosphere. Our class sizes are small, hence it’s easy and quick to build strong rapport with the students we teach. It also means that student achievements and challenges are easily communicated amongst a relatively mediumsized staff.

Our other strength is our IB programme. We’ve been an IB accredited school for a very long time (Diploma Programme authorised as early as 2000, PYP in 2002, and MYP in 2003). Our staff are highly trained, experienced and knowledgeable. We also have a great success rate for students who are still developing their English language abilities; they are supported well and achieve great success in our IB Diploma Programme.

A WORD FROM THE SCHOOL WHAT’S NEW?

To prepare High School students for their future career choices, the school held a job fair and organised an internship programme. Practitioners from various industries spoke personally with the students about the skills required for those industries, the best course of study to select, and other practical advice. Students then had the opportunity to intern at various local companies to understand and experience first-hand their career of choice.
