If a student presents with special learning needs, they are referred to an external specialist for a professional diagnosis. Based on that diagnosis, the Head of Learning Support and Wellness (or their designated proxy) consults with all relevant parties and determines the level of support the student needs, from 1 (basic support) to 5 (shadow teacher needed).

Students who demonstrate exceptional talents and skills are supported by our heads of programme to receive additional opportunities to further develop and challenge their individual areas of interest. These opportunities are offered to students who display particular interest and ability in a variety of academic, artistic, social, and service-oriented activities. Goals are managed through a three-way collaboration, led by the student and monitored and supported by faculty and parents.

Within today's global education landscape, ISS International School stands as a beacon of educational innovation, providing a comprehensive and inclusive education that has made a real difference in students' lives for over four decades. Our unwavering commitment to "Educating to Make a Difference" is deeply embedded in the fabric of our institution.

Nestled in a serene heritage hilltop campus surrounded by nature, ISS is more than a school; it's a community fostering open-minded learners and dedicated educators.

As an authorised K-12 International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, ISS offers the complete IB curriculum, including the IB Certificate and an American-styled High School Diploma for G11 and G12 students. Our school's personalised learning programme, supported by a robust student achievement database, tailors education to diverse student needs and backgrounds.

Central to ISS is "Our Kampong Spirit," embodying a commitment to community togetherness. With intentionally maintained small class sizes, academic excellence is not merely a goal but a journey facilitated by a personalised approach to learning and a nurturing environment.

ISS takes pride in its robust English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme, consistently guiding students from low WIDA scores to success in IBDP and HSD exams. The success is attributed to individualised support, a dedicated team of educators, and a caring culture that cultivates English proficiency, laying the foundation for student success and future pathways.

Students actively participate in developing personalised learning plans in a safe and inclusive environment where confidence thrives. As a school committed to inclusion we believe in being non selective. Notwithstanding, 100% of our HSD students achieved a pass rate and university acceptance, 90% of our IB students achieved bilingual diplomas and the IB class of 2023 scored above global averages in seven IB subjects this year. These achievements underscore our commitment to holistic education and student well-being.
