Health & Well-being

The ISSH boarding programme supports teenagers to become independent and responsible young adults who are well prepared for university life abroad and have a clear vision of their talents, strengths and goals for life. We invite teenagers aged 14-19 from around the world to join our international community of learners, to share our passion for knowledge and to develop into lifelong learners and international citizens.

All boarders at ISSH receive guidance and supervision according to their age. Our boarders are being looked after by “carers” who are there overnight and at times over the weekend.
