The iss vision statement
The ISS vision is to prepare students for greater global
participation by helping them become responsible,
empowered learners.
The iss Mission statement
The International School of Stavanger is dedicated
to providing its students with English language
education in a supportive, academically stimulating,
and multi-cultural environment. We strive to foster
a love of learning, the development of individual
skills and talents, and an awareness of the value each
person has to society. Our goal is to enable students
to succeed in continuing educational programs and
to live as responsible and contributing citizens in the
global community.
The International School of Stavanger (ISS), founded
in 1966, is an independent, non-profit Norwegian
foundation accredited by the New England Association
of Schools and Colleges and the Council of International
Schools. The school enrolls students from ages
3 through 18. ISS offers an international university
preparatory curriculum that combines the best features
of many national educational systems. Both the International
Baccalaureate Diploma programme and the
International General Certificate of Secondary Education
external examinations are available to students.
In 2008, the school has an enrollment of approximately
660 students who represent some 40 nationalities,
including students from six of the earth’s seven continents.
