“ISSOS, St. Andrews has deeply impressed our daughter in many ways: the atmosphere at the campus, the clans and the teacher were all a big and thoroughly positive experience for her. It helped her to grow both socially and mentally. And now she is more than eager to come back...”

“Dear Emma and Louise and all the staff at ISSOS,I had to write you a letter of thank all the staff for their hard work and effort, Noah thoroughly enjoyed learning and participating in activities, and his only regret is that he could have spent more time on campus.It’s an experience of a lifetime that he will never forget.The organisation and management of so many students were very professional, and I would highly recommend them to all my friends.Noah cannot wait for next year to go back to ISSOS, I am sure he will want to try Cambridge Campus out. Posting on social platforms was a great way to participate with the children even though we were not present.I thank you one more time and I hope that you will keep up the good work.You have been great!!!Many ThanksJean Paul Barakat”
