International Opportunities
ISP International Learning Opportunities for Students
At the International Schools Partnership (ISP), learning is at the heart of everything we do, and we aim to provide the best learning opportunities possible! As part of the pupil’s journey, we genuinely believe that it is essential they can experience learning outside of the classroom and connect with other ISP pupils worldwide.
As a global group of schools, our pupils have access to a broader international community, providing additional learning and cultural opportunities within a safe and secure environment.
Global Connections
All of the programmes share several main objectives and aim to provide memorable experiences that enable our pupils to:
- Develop their language and communication skills
- Experience different cultures
- Cultivate long-term friendships with students from other countries
- Offer students the chance to come together and interact digitally
