"Today, I look back on my long and happy career at ISB with great pleasure and the satisfaction that I was able to make a positive contribution to so many of my former students’ lives.  Many have stayed in touch and I’ve been humbled when they’ve let me know my teaching benefited them."

"The rigor of the education and commitment to understanding the world from a more inclusive perspective directly prepared me for many aspects of my career.  Additionally, the robust support offered in the theatre department was instrumental to setting me up for success in the creative industries. It provided me with a broad set of skills and first-hand experiences that I have referenced throughout my time as a film and theatre practitioner, and educator."

" ISB changed me. Interacting with people from so many places, as well as the great teachers we had and their perspectives, have a lot to do with who I am today. "

" I've tried to explain this to others in my life - ISB was full of people who never knew where they would be in a month or a year, so everyone made meaningful, long-lasting connections more quickly than in any other school I attended. "

" ISB was a transformative experience that opened my eyes to countless possibilities. The Art department, in particular, had a profound impact on me - the teachers believed in me and pushed me to explore and develop my own style. "

" Working as a High School College and Careers Counsellor at ISB for 13 years and retiring there was absolutely amazing. My colleagues, students, and families were so wonderful, and my two daughters received the most incredible education at ISB. "

" I made lifelong friends during my time there, and it’s a testament to the strength of those connections that I still cross paths with many of them across the world today. ISB isn’t just a school; it’s a vibrant, global family. "

" I enjoyed my time at ISB immeasurably. I made lifelong friends, with whom I stayed in touch. ISB offered me a broad education, and the international environment gave me respect and appreciation for people from diverse backgrounds. "

" At ISB I learned how to learn and I built the confidence to dare to try new things. "

" At ISB, you have the chance to evolve in a multicultural environment and to study at a school where student development and well-being are not just words – they are part of the school's DNA. "

" This school is a game changer. There are not many international schools with the ideals, values, and academic standards that parallel those of ISB. "

" ISB was the best time of my life. I was finally able to really be myself and flourish into teenhood in a healthy and positive way. It's where I developed a very secure sense of purpose and identity. "

" My advice would be to take the time to discover your interests and passions by exposing yourself to the wide range of courses and extracurricular activities offered at ISB – and most importantly to enjoy it to the fullest! "

" ISB represents what is possible in a world that often makes you feel like hope is lost. "

" The time spent at ISB has literally changed my life. "

" It was the best time ever! So many fun things happened. I had tons of cool teachers and made loads of friends at ISB. I've got all these awesome memories that I still really miss a bunch! " 

" A big part of my inspiration to become a journalist came from my Middle School journalism teachers, who invited speakers to our class, including a former British foreign correspondent who had reported from Vietnam and Northern Ireland. "

" Being an open-minded and independent thinker is an incredibly important skill in life. I don't know many places, other than ISB, where this is not only taught, but lived. "

" Learning at ISB is tailored towards cultivating skills and analytical capacity, which is prioritised over rote memorisation. This approach allows for the ability to think critically, to solve problems, and to adapt to professional environments. It has helped me to stay sharp and to think on my feet while performing my duties as a doctor in the hospital and while doing research for my PhD. "
