Student and Parent Spotlight

Hear what our students and parents say about ISSOS 

ISSOS student Lucy smiling outdoors with friends.

St Andrews

“Our daughter attended St Andrews, and she couldn't have had a better experience. It's no exaggeration to say that she was happy from the moment she arrived until the moment she tearfully left! This was especially reassuring for us, as she was visiting all the way from Canada and felt quite anxious before going. As parents, we highly recommend this program."

ISSOS student Saif laughing with friends on campus.

“I attended Cambridge and St Andrews, my first time at ISSOS and any camp. It was life-changing—I met my best friend, gained independence, and discovered more about myself. By summer’s end, we’d already planned to meet again. Thank you to the ISSOS Family for an unforgettable experience!”

"Truly the experience of a lifetime! I went to St Andrews and had so much fun. The Leadership class and electives were really engaging, and the teachers and counselors were both professional and welcoming. Excursions and activities were incredible, and I met friends from all over the world who I hope will last a lifetime. Thank you ISSOS—I’ll never forget this summer!"

“I had the time of my life at ISSOS. It boosted my confidence, helped me grow, and introduced me to amazing people who inspired me to be my best self. The classes were engaging, the diversity was incredible, and I loved the day trips and evening activities. The counselors were always supportive. Huge thank you to ISSOS—I’d do it all over again!
