Our shared purpose with the International Schools Partnership is to grow the world's most curious, confident minds. Through the Learning.First™ approach, we put students at the centre of every experience - encouraging them to take charge of their learning.
Curiosity fuels our learning
The best learning happens when students are actively engaged. We ignite curiosity through hands-on projects and inquiry-based learning, making learning exciting, memorable and full of exploration.
Confidence drives lifelong learning
We place students in the driving seat, empowering them to take ownership, set their own goals and navigate challenges. As co-pilots of their learning journey, they trust in their abilities, build confidence, and lead their way forward. This mindset helps them believe they can learn and achieve anything, fostering a love for lifelong learning.
Teachers as guides
Our teachers are more than instructors; they are trusted guides and partners in every student's journey. They ignite curiosity, nurture exploration and inspire those 'aha' Amazing Learning moments of self-discovery. They help our learners grow, build resilience and grow confidence, ensuring that learning is a journey filled with possibility.
Embrace the good struggles
We believe in the power of 'Good Struggles'—purposeful challenges that push students just beyond their comfort zones. This stage is where deep learning happens, fostering resilience and helping students realise their potential. Facing challenges head-on, with the right support, empowers learners to grow and thrive, both inside and outside the classroom.

Our schools are clear about the knowledge and skills students need to succeed academically.
Beyond that, our schools are equipped with innovative curricula, a research-backed learning approach and high-impact assessment tools, all designed to deepen each student’s understanding. Continuous improvement is fundamental to ISP.
All our schools follow a learning improvement framework which monitors performance against selected criteria proven to best support student learning.
It helps us enhance our approach to have the greatest impact on students’ success.
We believe that there are some key life skills that all students need to thrive. These include everything from digital literacy to global awareness.
These skills prepare them to adapt to a rapidly changing world, make informed decisions, and build meaningful relationships, setting a strong foundation for lifelong success and fulfilment.
ISP students develop these skills over the course of their school years, through learning experiences inside and outside the classroom.
International learning is part of our schools’ DNA. Our students are encouraged to explore a range of world languages.
We ensure all our students can communicate and collaborate confidently in at least one world language (usually English, Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish or French), in addition to their home languages.
Every year, iSP students around the world take part in multicultural and multilingual experiences called International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS). Whether it’s becoming a United Nations delegate or directing a film, ILOSprogrammes open the world to every student.
Every ILOS experience encourages students to discover their true interests as they prepare to succeed in today’s global society.

The Learning Improvement Process (LIP) is iSP's official, structured framework designed to ensure that each school provides an optimal environment for student growth. It is an ongoing process that reflects our shared commitment to providing every student with the opportunity to thrive. Through the LIP, we consistently evaluate and enhance our learning environments, ensuring that every learner feels confident, supported and prepared to face new challenges. This supportive process helps us create a learning environment where every student, and every teacher, knows they can achieve their best.
