Surabhi, ISS Alumnus (India)

I recently graduated from ISS after attending the school for 6 years. Today, as I wait to start my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Warwick, I can confidently say that a large part of my knowledge and character has stemmed from my time at ISS.

Belonging from India, the International setting was new and overwhelming to me. But from my very first day in grade 7 I have felt at home amongst nurturing community of ISS. The school has provided me with numerous opportunities in both academic and non-academic areas. I was able to opt for a variety of subjects that prepared well me for my chosen course at University. Outside the classroom, I had the chance of serving as the Student Council’s Vice President and explore my passion for community and service. At ISS, the teachers looked beyond the basic educational requirements of the IB program, to ensure the values are instilled in each and every student. Not only did the school guide me through my CAS projects but also constantly recognised my work, and recently nominated me for the International Diana Award.

Looking back at my ISS journey, I can say without a doubt that I have made memories and friends that will stay close to my heart forever. ISS has given me a high school experience that I will never forget.
