These are not roles that can be mastered, only improved upon constant collaboration and interaction with teachers, other students, parents and the wider world. We want everyone to be inspired in order to achieve the highest standards, with the progress of all students central to everything we do.

Guiding Principles
Inspire. Evolve. Achieve.

● Ensure our pupils are safe and happy.

● Uphold the highest standards and expectations.

● Provide exceptional learning environments and experiences.

● Impart a passion for learning and the determined pursuit of excellence.

● Positively influence our community.

● Expect honourable, kind and well-mannered conduct.

Motivated to Achieve

Achieving academic success is only possible when students and teachers share a love of the learning process. Going beyond the school curriculum, we explore each subject in depth. We maintain this approach in relation to music, sports and the arts. Education at the International School of St. Petersburg is comprehensive. We encourage our students to show their own initiative, developing a healthy curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown.
