My deepest wish is that when students leave ISB, what they carry with them is an unwavering curiosity and lifelong love of learning. Then I will know we have succeeded.

Even though I’ve visited ISB dozens of times, it never gets old seeing 4-year-olds, 14-year-olds and 40-year-olds (the teachers!) experiencing the choice, wonder and delight of playful learning.

ISB gives my children the freedom to express and enjoy themselves in a fantastic learning environment. They are excited to go to school every day, and there can be no greater way to describe its strength.
