ISH Mission

SecSchool Parent

Reflecting your own work and learning from your mistakes is the greatest skill students can learn so early in life, at school. This skill combined with everything else they learn helps them grow into young, open minded people with self-esteem, self-respect and respect for others.

We believe in the power of education to develop global citizens who lead lives of purpose and meaning.

ISH Vision

Alumni Parent

The International curricula, the MYP and the IB programmes, prepared my children well for their next educational challenges at university. Learning the different steps of essay writing or designing a project, reflecting their progress and learning from their mistakes formed their self-motivated work ethics for their studies at university.

ISH parent EY/JS3

Dedicated and motivated ISH teachers provide the growth mindset to even the youngest children. They create a safe and calm atmosphere where my children enjoy learning and challenging themselves to succeed. Social responsibility and respectful interaction are just as much a part of  learning at ISH as the curricula which is accredited according to global best practices in education.
