Developing students’ Life Competencies

At ISP, we exist to develop the world’s most curious and confident minds through holistic, transformative learning experiences.

As a global group of schools, our students benefit from being part of a wider international community, which provides many additional learning and cultural opportunities

Through comparison and analysis of a range of international competencies frameworks, ISP has identified 5 broad categories of skills that will equip and empower our students to succeed now and in the future.
