Our community
Within today’s global education landscape, ISS International School stands as a beacon of educational innovation, providing a comprehensive and inclusive education that has made a real difference in students’ lives for over four decades. Our unwavering commitment to “Educating to Make a Difference” is deeply embedded in the fabric of our institution.
Nestled in a serene heritage hilltop campus surrounded by nature, ISS is more than a school; it’s a community fostering open-minded learners and dedicated educators.
As an authorised K-12 International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, ISS offers the complete IB curriculum, including the IB Certificate and an American-styled High School Diploma for G11 and G12 students. Our school’s personalised learning programme, supported by a robust student achievement database, tailors education to diverse student needs and backgrounds.
Central to ISS is “Our Kampong Spirit,” embodying a commitment to community togetherness. With intentionally maintained small class sizes, academic excellence is not merely a goal but a journey facilitated by a personalised approach to learning and a nurturing environment.
ISS takes pride in its robust English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme, consistently guiding students from low WIDA scores to success in IBDP and HSD exams. The success is attributed to individualised support, a dedicated team of educators, and a caring culture that cultivates English proficiency, laying the foundation for student success and future pathways.
Students actively participate in developing personalised learning plans in a safe and inclusive environment where confidence thrives. As a school committed to inclusion we believe in being non selective. Notwithstanding, 100% of our HSD students achieved a pass rate and university acceptance, 90% of our IB students achieved bilingual diplomas and the IB class of 2023 scored above global averages in seven IB subjects this year. These achievements underscore our commitment to holistic education and student well-being.
Situated in a space with a rich British colonial history dating back to the late 1930s, ISS cherishes its heritage and architecture, providing students with an escape from technology into a green atmosphere that enhances creativity and overall well-being.
Founded by the late visionary Mr. Chan Chee Seng, ISS remains true to his vision of an inclusive environment with a diverse student population that acts globally, thinks with care, and strives for sustainable change.
At ISS International School, we don’t just educate; we educate to make a difference.
