Evening Programmes at ISSOS

Our Evening Programme is packed with exciting and varied events, designed to help students relax, have fun, and connect with others outside their classes and Counselor groups. Every night offers something different, creating memorable moments and encouraging new friendships. Each event is different and there’s something for everyone, from lighthearted events to thought provoking debates and team-based competitions.While some events vary depending on the campus location, the core programme makes sure that every evening offers our students the chance to take part in fun and enriching events.

What are Evening Programmes?

Evenings at ISSOS are just as meaningful and engaging as the days, providing a balance of entertainment and creativity, and giving students the chance to socialise and enjoy their time together in a fun and relaxed setting.


Early in the session, students bond with events like Group Night, while our Scottish roots come to life when we teach everyone Scottish Country Dancing. Events like the Counselor Fashion Show bring lots of laughter, and the Variety Show always uncovers so many incredible talents. 


Clan events add friendly rivalry to some of the evenings, with exciting events like Clan Calling, Mini Olympics, and Urban Orienteering that help build teamwork and really get the Clan spirit going! In the final week, the spotlight turns to the achievements of our students. 


Creative talents are celebrated during Creative Night, while entrepreneurial thinking shines in Dragons’ Den. The Final Night Debate showcases students’ powers of persuasion, and the session ends with the emotional Final Night Dance, one last time for celebration, and farewell.
