Learning is at the heart of everything we do, and we want to continually provide the best learning opportunities possible for our students and their families. As a member of a global group of schools, our students benefit from being part of a wider international community, which provides many additional learning and cultural opportunities.
The ILOS programs offered by the International Schools Partnership (ISP) provide Amazing Learning experiences that enable our students to:
- Connect and share with other ISP students from other countries and build friendships
- Develop their language and communication skills
- Apply learning in contexts outside the formal curriculum
- Gain knowledge and develop their understanding about different cultures and traditions
- Develop transferable skills including critical thinking, confidence, teamwork, and leadership
- Develop their understanding of their capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses
- Become a more responsible global citizen
ILOS events include, reading and maths challenges, summer camps, buddy exchange, competitions and tournaments, Model United Nations and many more.
