Preschool to Grade 12
A lot of children go to school by bicycle, the majority are driven by their parents, there is also a school bus and a bus line stop close by.
The building is a purpose-built facility, that was inaugurated in 2010. Performing Arts auditorium, fully equipped double size gym, great green playground for the junior school, classrooms with interactive whiteboards, several computer labs, a big library. The extra-curricular was revamped this school year (2012-2013), and many activities are now available to the students (arts, sports, special interests) from about 15:15 to 16:30.
Two news full time counselors hired this year. Very caring and full of energy, ready to help the students. The english as an additional language programme is improving throughout the school.
The PTA organizes several activities throughout the year. There is an Oktoberfest in October, an international fair in November, where parents from different countries sell foods and items from their respective countries. These events are fund raisers but also help create a sense of community.
Make sure you take full advantage of the help offered by the administration and the PTA. I had a lot of questions when our family arrived at the school, but I always found answers, through the admission person, the principals, my children's teachers, the counselors, or through my country representative with the PTA, and of course other parents. I have heard that there have been a few problems before at ISH, but things seem to be improving.
