CIS visit:  

Next week, ISB will welcome visitors from the Council of International Schools (CIS). They work with schools all over the world to make sure education is the best it can be. 

The CIS team will visit lessons, ECAs, our residence and talk with staff, students and parents about life at ISB — our values, learning, activities, and what makes our school special. 

Your thoughts and ideas matter! What you share will help ISB keep growing and improving.
