Why study IB at ISS?

The IB programme has flourished exponentially in these past 50 years and many international and even local schools offer the IB Programme as the foundation of their curriculum.

What sets ISS International School apart is that we are one of the longest established three programme international schools in Singapore, serving the international community for over thirty years and offering IB programmes for almost twenty years.

The fundamentals of  our academic delivery also differ.

  • we believe and practice an inclusive education philosophy where everyone has an opportunity to express their viewpoints and have access to programmes,
  • we create an empowering environment where our students are encouraged to develop and pursue their own sense of purpose,
  • our highly trained teachers  guide and nurture our students as they make this journey of self-discovery,
  • delivering each lesson in a highly individualized and customized style to ensure that each student learns at their own pace and benefits fully from the learning.

We are fully committed to ensuring that each and every student at ISS realises their full potential and that we are there to guide them to reach that goal. This is what makes ISS International School.

We would like to share how we deliver each of our individual programmes in the PYP, MYP and DP with you. So please continue to select the appropriate school section that meets your current needs.
