Directors' Message

What makes us
different?

What is truly unique is how we deliver these programmes. We ensure the success of each and every one of our students by customising what they learn, how they learn it, focusing on their specific needs and strengths, and encouraging them accordingly.

Not all of our students learn at the same rate, some struggle with various educational challenges, while some others are able to take on additional challenges. Our students benefit from a learning environment that not only nurtures them individually but also empowers them, building upon their unique interests and capabilities – be it academic, artistic, sporting or other interests.

“The thing I like most about ISS is the unwavering support I got from everyone there. I received huge amounts of help, advice, and guidance from my teachers and the senior administration. I like how friendly and approachable my teachers were and how willing they were to help me. The support I received was incredible and really appreciated.”

Bespoke
education

The ISS International School approach to curriculum planning and delivery is a student needs centred approach.

To facilitate our student’s learning journey, we believe in being dynamic in the way we deliver this curriculum, both on a whole class and on an individual student basis, in order to capture their interest and develop understanding. We create individual student strategies to help our students thrive and excel, academically, emotionally, and to prepare them to be active global citizens in their future career.

“ISS is a great school because it offers a safe and supportive environment for my child to learn and grow both academically and personally. We value the excellent teachers and support from the ISS community. We receive communication letters from the school weekly. We are very happy that our child went to ISS. She is very excited to go to school every morning. She made very good friends in school and her academic report is great. As a parent, that’s all I want to see from my kid: enjoying learning, having good friendships and achieving good academics.”

– Ying Ji, ISS Parent

Inclusive environment

ISS International School was one of the first international schools to be founded in Singapore in 1981 by our Chairman Mr. Chan Chee Seng. He had named it the International School of Singapore then. He was a former statesman, serving under the government of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. Mr. Chan strongly believed in the importance of a good education. His deep rooted love for learning and his understanding of Singapore’s economic needs then, created his vision for an inclusive international school with a strong cosmopolitan student population. This vision still lives strong today at ISS International School. We have a diverse student population of over 30 nationalities.

“Teachers at ISS have guided me to be a risk taker by creating an environment to encourage me to try new things. They do so by assuring me that it is okay to make mistakes, as long as I learn from it. This makes me feel safe and comfortable to try unfamiliar activities and I have benefitted as I have personally learnt and grown. I can profess that I have developed this risk taking skill, as I now dare to try, as opposed to not trying at all in the past.”

– Jeewoo, ISS Student
