Electives

Each student combines their academic class choice with one of our unique, elective courses which meet for four afternoons each weekday. These fun-filled and action-packed classes enable students to discover exciting new subjects, or develop existing skills while learning from our expert team of professional coaches and teachers.

Afternoons at ISSOS are for our fun-filled and action-packed elective classes, designed to ignite new passions or develop skills in students' existing hobbies.

We offer limited places at ISSOS as a whole and in our classes so that our students feel part of the community and can benefit from plenty of individual attention from their teachers.
