Welcome to our IB World School

We’re glad you’re here! We’re an independent, IB World School with a kind and inclusive community ethos and an innovative approach to learning that encourages our students to be independent, inquisitive and inspired by the world around them. Our students benefit from learning in purpose-built facilities on a state-of-the-art campus with globally experienced and dynamic teachers.

Discover our unique educational journey

Preschool

(ages 3-5)

In preschool, our nursery, we take children’s natural curiosity and personal interests as the inspiration for our child-led curriculum, which creates a fun-filled learning experience with plenty of outdoor activities and imaginative play!

Elementary School

(ages 5-11)

In the primary years, we foster a learning environment that sparks intellectual curiosity and develops positive personal qualities, allowing students to flourish socially, emotionally, and academically.

Middle School

(ages 11-14)

ISA’s middle school supports students with a broad, high quality programme at this transformational age. The nurturing environment empowers students with the skills and independence needed to thrive in their secondary years.

High School

(ages 14-18)

Our four-year high school programme offers a range of qualifications designed to keep doors open to diverse university, college and career choices.  Our programmes culminate in the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, highly respected by universities in Scotland, the UK and around the world.

ISA Life

Discover the benefits of ISA

Here at ISA, we support each student to make the most of their educational experience. And while our students excel academically, our approach is holistic – supporting the whole child to pursue their passions and be an active global citizen.  But don’t just take our word for it, explore our website and hear from our students, families and staff about what makes ISA so special.  At ISA we’re international by name and by nature – a valuable and important part of our DNA – but around half our students are from the North-east of Scotland creating a globally diverse but locally connected whole school community.

Whole Child Wellbeing

Our child centred ecosystem of care nurtures learning, physical, and social emotional health.

Aberdeen

The Granite City with an enviable quality of life

We’re proud to be the only international school in Aberdeen, based a stone’s throw from the River Dee and the gateway to Royal Deeside and Speyside – whisky and castle country.  This beautiful corner of Scotland extends from the heights of the Cairngorms to stunning sandy coasts.  Combining historic castles, arts and culture, with sports, shopping and entertainment in a compact city region, it’s no wonder Aberdeenshire is famous for its quality of life.
