Welcome to the International School of St. Petersburg!

Over the past couple of years, I have learned how important a strong school community can be. To maintain success and provide an outstanding  education, it is critical to be surrounded by staff and students who have the student’s best interests in mind at all times. When we work together as one, it allows our students to achieve accelerated development in all areas of the curriculum.

 

I know that at the International School of St. Petersburg we have created a school built precisely on these principles. Every member of our school community is committed to providing our students with the best possible education and making sure they are part of a warm, vibrant and welcoming environment. For every member of the community, this is their second home.

We want everyone at ISSPB to enjoy their education, be eager to learn, explore, take risks and have undiluted ambition in the knowledge that there is always someone to help them take the next step, no matter what they want to achieve.

Whether students aim to get into the UK’s elite independent schools and universities, become Nobel laureates, World Cup winners or perform in the West End, we are confident that, as a close-knit community of teachers and parents, we have the atmosphere and opportunities to make those dreams come true.

I look forward to your visit so you can experience first-hand the quality of education we provide and the undeniable passion and passion we share.

Sincerely,

Leon Clarke

Academic Director

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.
