How an international education can benefit your child

Your child will be exposed to a high standard of education in a multilingual, multicultural environment. In an international school, students are exposed to nationalities from all over the world. It’s the ideal learning environment you could provide your child, to help them understand the world and prepare them for globalized society, naturally providing them with situations that allow them to grow, adapt, and problem solve with children from different backgrounds and cultures.

The educational program is international, based on extensive research and global best practice, taking methodologies, curriculum and standards from around the world. It is holistic and balanced, supporting students in their academics but also providing the opportunity to pursue the areas they are most passionate about and helping them to develop as individuals in a nurturing and caring environment. The program is based on transferable learning and provides them with the skills they need to be successful in today’s world and to be true global citizens.

But it’s not just about the students. Parents also have access to many activities, support groups and education opportunities and be actively involved in their child’s school life and the positive leadership of the school.

These are just a few reasons why you should consider an international school for your child(ren). For more information about ISB or our admissions process or to speak with one of our admissions professionals, please contact ISB directly or view our applications process.
