Play. Learn.

By placing PLAY at the heart of education, ISB stimulates every child's natural desire to LEARN.

Shaping and sharing a
pedagogy of play

Together with our partners from Project Zero, ISB teachers are investigating what it means to put play at the heart of education.

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.
