This enriching and transformative experience directly supports the ISG core strategic priority of Professional Excellence. The conference focuses on the overarching theme of "The Story of Learning”, guiding us through a shift in educational excellence toward belonging, agency and relevance.

Beyond the opportunity to connect and engage in learning with educators leading international schools much like ISG, the core aims of the event include strengthening leadership practices, fostering innovative educational models and cultivating school-wide cultures of growth and wellbeing.

I plan to attend sessions focused on mission-driven leadership, tech ready schools, innovation and deeper learning by design, superintendent/head of school job-alikes, designing a relevant and current transcript, supporting wellbeing and belonging, building trust through improved communication, student-centered schools and culture building.  

Leadership attending looks forward to sharing our learning with other leadership and the staff community through insights and actionable strategies gained that will benefit ISG.

ISG’s participation reflects our ongoing commitment to our strategic priority of Professional Excellence, attracting, developing and retaining exceptional educators and staff who share our passion for learning, growth and innovation. By engaging in this national platform, we aim to connect with talented educators and professionals who will contribute to ISG’s mission of delivering high quality learning and supporting wellbeing and belonging within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Now in its 11th year, the Wadaef Job Fair is one of the Kingdom’s leading events connecting top employers with talented professionals. This initiative directly supports the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly its focus on developing a highly-skilled national workforce and fostering meaningful career opportunities across sectors.

We look forward to meeting prospective team members who are ready to make an impact and help shape the future of education at ISG.

Throughout the month, counselors held assemblies and class talks with students to reinforce the importance of empathy, care and respect. Homerooms also decorated their doors and students created posters expressing what unity means to them.

By wearing orange and engaging in activities that highlight acceptance and inclusion, students and staff demonstrated what it means to create a community where everyone feels valued.

These values are deeply rooted in our ISG mission and the strategic priority of Wellbeing and Belonging, and the efforts remind us that our responsibility as educators goes beyond academics; it includes nurturing character and cultivating safe, supportive environments where all students can learn and grow together and have a strong sense of belonging.

I am incredibly proud of how our students and staff continue to champion kindness across ISG. Through intentional learning experiences like Unity Day, we are preparing students to be compassionate, responsible individuals who contribute positively to their communities.
