Countries connected through learning experiences
We all work hard to build atmospheres where everyone shares our passion to help students get better and to experience transformational learning.
Transformational
A culture that supports all our colleagues to learn, grow, and develop with us and enables our students to learn better than they might do anywhere else
Uniting and respectful
An equitable and inclusive culture, based on values of respect and kindness, that unites all of us throughout our regions and schools to work together, in partnership
Engaging and inspiring
A culture built on integrity, transparency, and trust that inspires belonging and ownership and which our people feel compelled to uphold, emulate, and share
Getting better
A listening culture underpins a collaborative way of working, where we challenge and support one another to get better by sharing and being receptive to feedback
Safeguarding
Keeping children safe, healthy and happy is at the heart of everything we do. This means creating an environment where they can focus on learning and thrive.
Everyone in our school community—no matter their role—shares this responsibility. Safeguarding isn’t just a policy; it’s a commitment to protecting children from harm, supporting their well-being and ensuring they have the best possible start in life.
By joining our school, you become part of this shared commitment. We all play a role in keeping children safe.
All roles require rigorous vetting, including references, an online due diligence search and Criminal Background Checks (or equivalent) covering the past 10 years.
Professional development
As part of a global organisation, we offer exciting opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across different countries and cultures. We invest in the continuous growth of our team, providing access to world-class professional development.Through the ISP Learning Hub, our people engage with courses covering our learning approach, core learning pillars, AI and EdTech and more. From our Leadership Pathways to the New Teacher Programme, we support career progression at every stage, ensuring our teachers and non-teachers thrive in a culture of innovation and lifelong learning.
A learning journey that begins with trust and support
Our school is much more than an educational space – it is an international community where values, languages and global experiences prepare our pupils to achieve their dreams and make a difference in the world.

A journey of values and growth
Choosing a school means looking beyond the academic aspect. They gave me much more than an education - a full learning experience based on values like volunteering, self-confidence, ambition and responsibility. If I could choose again where to study, I'd choose here.

Skills that go beyond the classroom
It is difficult to sum up what this school has meant for my academic and private life. If I had to pick something, it would be the high level of language teaching, the culture of hard work to achieve goals, communication skills, team work, all of which are highly valued by companies.

Learning to stand out through personal growth
I have to thank the school for the quality of my education and the language skills they taught me. But I am most grateful for the personal growth that makes me stand out from the rest.

From IB to London - prepared for global university life
The IB Diploma Programme and the language training I received at school have opened the door for me to pursue my university studies in London. Thanks to this preparation, I’ve confidently adapted to the international university environment, working on projects more fluently and improving my language skills in a global setting.
