Diverse learning styles
At ISB, we are dedicated to teaching young people with a wide range of language experiences, social-emotional skills, and academic development. Faculty here embrace and value all students' contributions to the school, their diversity strengthening the community and empowering everyone in it with greater compassion and purpose.
ISB is very well equipped to provide learning support, and started the Life Centered Education (LCE) program in 2020-2021 for students with intellectual/cognitive learning disabilities.
“ISB has a growth mindset around learning support. The school has made a huge investment in learning support, and it shines especially in the intensive needs program where my son finds access to education."

College admissions counseling
The Career and University Advisors help prepare students for life after high school, in the realms of university, college, gap year, and career options. The relationship between students and their University Advisor begins in Grade 10 during the course selection process of Grade 11, and continues throughout Grades 11 and 12. University Advisors work collaboratively with students and families to guide them through the university search and application process, finding the best possible university match for each student. They also work closely with University Admissions offices around the world to stay up to date with application requirements. In addition, University Advisors assist with planning for standardized testing and advise on appropriate course selection for specific career goals and university majors.
The in-depth College Counseling service ensures both students and parents have:
- A detailed college road map
- Informative college seminars
- Research workshops
- Detailed college essay workshops
- One-on-one meetings throughout high school

In order to provide an exceptional education to students, our facilities are built in such a way as to inspire creativity, independence, and a love of learning.
