ISL Annual Update 2022-2023

Council
The ISL School Council had a
very productive year. We
collaborated with Rick Detwiler,
a globally-recognized
educational consultant and a
founder of the US Office of
Overseas Schools Good
Governance Project, on a full
audit of our school policies to
condense them and bring them
in line with current best
practice.
We refined internal financial planning and reporting to maximize
efficiency and flexibility and to ensure we correctly balance longterm
sustainability with the ability to move fast in the face of changing
circumstances. But perhaps most importantly, we had the opportunity
to engage repeatedly and meaningfully with the community, not only
at our first Annual General meeting to be held on campus since the
beginning of Covid, but also informally at International Day and
throughout the year. If some students now think the Council stands for
ice cream, that is also a cause for celebration…!
We continue to be challenged and
enthused by the opportunities for
individual and shared growth
presented by the school and are
honored to be able to serve.
