Welcome to our IB World School
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, modern facilities on a state-of-the-art, woodland 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 as the inspiration for our play-based curriculum, which creates a fun-filled learning experience with varied activities in our dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces!
Elementary School
(ages 5-11)
In the primary years, we cultivate a vibrant, inquiry-driven environment where students explore big questions, build strong foundational skills in literacy and numeracy, and grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
Middle School
(ages 11-14)
In ISA’s middle school, our nurturing environment guides students through an engaging, interdisciplinary curriculum, weaving connections between discrete disciplines to deepen critical inquiry, global perspective, and conceptual understanding.
High School
(ages 14-18)
In high school we offer a range of qualifications designed to keep doors open to diverse university, college and career choices, culminating in the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma qualification.
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 students’ learning alongside their physical, social and emotional health.

Our Campus
Set against our scenic woodland backdrop, ISA’s purpose-built campus features state-of-the-art sports pitches, a swimming pool, a climbing wall, a 300 seater theatre, open plan library and modern classrooms, providing students with an inspiring environment to explore, perform, and excel every day.
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. 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 North East Scotland is famous for its quality of life.
