Hear what our students have to say about us.

When I first joined ISA, the biggest impact on me were the different tests. I was used to multiple choice questions and answers, and having to change to different styles of exams, such as knowing and understanding, developing skills, communication, and thinking critically which really allowed me to not only show what I had learned but to also show my own thoughts and ideas, was a big change for me. These different methods allowed me to understand the topic better.

The Diploma Programme at ISA was an invaluable experience which taught me how to manage my time and to succeed in activities beyond my comfort zone. I’m really grateful for the ISA DP teachers who made the learning fun and interactive, and who gave me the opportunity to develop as a learner and as an individual. Thank you, ISA!

Zosia, ISA Alumna

What I love about ISA is that everyone is always loving and caring and willing to help you when you need it. I also love that the learning strategies the teachers teach make it easier for everyone to understand and are very efficient and helpful.
