Quarter 1 Reports are now available. Parent Teacher Conferences will be from 8:30am to 5pm on Wednesday, November 8 in the ISY Gym.

At ISY, to be compassionate is to act. And our Secondary School students jumped in action this week in response to devastating flooding.

As I write this, we have a group of ISY High School students in Singapore taking part in the UWC Model United Nations (MUN) Conference.

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our overview of our new Chinthe Expeditions Program that will run during the week of Dec 11-15.

I hope that you had an opportunity to speak with your child’s teachers during yesterday’s Parent Teacher Conferences.

This week we have our ISY badminton, softball, and soccer teams competing overseas in regional tournaments.
