ISY Learning Story

An Island of Sanity: Celebrating the Heart of Our ISY Community

At The International School Yangon (ISY), we are more than just a school; we are a community—a safe haven where students, families, and staff come together to learn, connect, and thrive. In a world that can often feel uncertain, ISY stands as an island of sanity, a place where everyone can leave their worries at the gate and step into an environment built on trust, care, and belonging.

At the very heart of this vibrant campus life is our incredible security team. Every morning, they greet our community with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for a day filled with possibility. Their unwavering commitment ensures not only the physical safety of our campus but also fosters a deep sense of welcome. From the youngest students to visiting families, everyone who steps through our gates knows they are entering a safe, compassionate, caring space.

This commitment to safety and belonging is central to ISY’s strategic theme of belonging. Our emphasis is on creating a community where everyone feels they belong. It goes beyond just physical security. It is about creating an environment where people feel cared for and supported, a place where they can focus on learning, building relationships, and growing as individuals.


Our security team is joined in this mission by the many others who make ISY a sanctuary of care and support. Our teachers inspire curiosity and nurture potential. Our counselors offer guidance and emotional care, ensuring that students and families alike feel seen and heard. Our clinic, staffed by a doctor and nurse, provides a sense of reassurance and immediate care when needed. Meanwhile, our facilities team works tirelessly to maintain our beautiful, secure grounds, creating a physical environment that reflects the values we hold dear.


Together, this network of dedicated individuals ensures that ISY is not just a school but a home—a place where everyone belongs. In a time when the world outside can feel unpredictable, this sense of belonging and safety is more vital than ever. It allows our students, staff, and families to focus on what truly matters: learning, growing, and forging connections that will last a lifetime.


At ISY, we are proud to be a community that prioritizes compassion, care, and inclusion. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our security team and all those who work to create a supportive environment, we remain steadfast in our mission of being a community of compassionate global citizens.
