Teacher Recognition Award

In 1995, the ISB Foundation set aside funds for the purpose of making annual awards to members of the ISB Faculty in recognition of their extraordinary dedication and commitment to the school.

The story behind...

The award was named after James Sidgwick, who served as Deputy Headmaster (1956-69) as well as Headmaster of the Elementary School (1969-88). Each year, a recipient is selected by the Alumni from a different section of the school.
