Trips & Activities

We never forget that our students are on their summer holidays while they're with us. So, in addition to our exceptional academic and elective courses, each of our students will also benefit from our varied and all-inclusive summer school activities programme.

Outside of class time, we provide an action packed and fun-filled programme of events that the entire campus takes part in.

All of our activities and trips have been carefully planned and designed to give students the chance to have fun mixing with other students, develop creatively and explore new places or interests.

Additional Activities

Each day, after elective classes, we run additional activities (called 4pms) that students can opt to sign up for. These offer students the chance to experience something different or take part in an already loved activity.

Clans and Highland Games

Students at ISSOS will all join one of our Clans. These are designed to build our international community and promote teamwork, friendly competition and good sportsmanship.

Cultural Trips

Our all-inclusive summer school half-day trips take place on Wednesday afternoons and full-day trips take place on Saturdays, providing a fun and well-deserved break from timetabled classes.

Evening Programmes

Evenings at ISSOS are spent taking part in our exciting and varied evening programme of events that are designed to help students relax, have fun and get to know more of their fellow students outside of their classes and groups.

Sunday Workshops

Sundays are more relaxed days at ISSOS, and a chance for our students to have a bit of well deserved down time. In the afternoons we run workshops, tailored to different interests, for students to choose from and sign up for.
