ISM SECONDARY SCHOOL

I am delighted to welcome you to the secondary school of the International School of Monaco (ISM).

ISM is a dynamic and purposeful learning community which is committed to providing all students with an international education with distinction. Guided by our core values of integrity, learning, caring and respect you will find a progressive and innovative school with the highest expectations for all members of the ISM community. Our teachers care deeply about ourstudents and are equally passionate about their subjects. This is reflected in our vision which challenges students to reach beyond their horizons, to experience learning that is truly multilingual, internationally minded and outstanding in every aspect.

In the secondary school students in years 7, 8 and 9 are exposed to a wide variety of subjects which follow the English National Curriculum tailored for an international context. This allows students to experience many areas of learning and provides a strong foundation to prepare them for globally recognised International GCSE (IGCSE) courses in years 10 and 11. In years 12 and 13 ISM is fully authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation to offer both its Diploma Programme (IBDP) and the Career-related Programme (IBCP) as our pre-university qualifications.

We are very proud that students throughout the secondary school continue to achieve at the highest levels and this can be seen in our fantastic external examination results. There have been many exceptional individual examination performances both in this and previous years with students gaining places in the most esteemed universities throughout the world. With the recent addition of becoming an accredited Athlete Friendly Education Centre (AFEC) by the World Academy of Sport (WAoS) we are well placed to offer the many exceptional athletes at ISM the additional support and guidance they require when managing their busy sporting and academic commitments.

Beyond ISM’s first-rate examination results – we pride ourselves on having students who are happy to be in school and enjoy learning. We recognise that contented students are more hardworking, make better progress and achieve more. With an impressive collection of extra-curricular opportunities, we believe there is something on offer at ISM to give every student the opportunity to develop new skills and excel outside of the classroom.

Student wellbeing is at the heart of all that we do at ISM. Within a warm and mutually respectful atmosphere we know we will develop healthy, well-rounded students who are confident, responsible and fully equipped with the lifelong learning skills and attributes required to be successful globally minded citizens of the world.

Finally, it is our fantastic students, staff and parents who make the International School of Monaco stand out as a truly special place. I look forward to sharing with you the sense of warmth and contentment within a caring and purposeful learning atmosphere that is abundantly clear to all those who visit the school.

Best wishes,

Robert Henry

Head of Secondary School
