The transition from no longer being able to offer the IBO to A Levels has not been smooth and initially there was no clear direction and subject teachers were expected to figure it out on their own with minimal guidance from admin. As we are closer to ending the year they finally brought on an expert who is helping the departments properly prepare for the transition.

Students in MS/HS are allowed to have them, but they are not allowed to use them. Very few teachers adhere to this policy, which caused some issues on campus. The EYES students don't seem to have phones or at least they don't bring them to school.This is not an issue at ASB.

Recycling is very strict here and you will want to have several different disposal bins to get plastics, PET bottles, cans, milk cartons, styrofoam etc sorted. The school will help you get set up with a print out sheet for what things go where and when those pick up days are for your neighborhood. If you can't make it to the next recycling day, don't worry, you can take common recycling to dispose of at most grocery stores and the local recycling centers.

You get picked up from the airport by SLT. Then have a couple a days to settle in, before new staff induction. Then whole staff induction the following week.

ISL has now completed two years of the Masterplan. The school looks fantastic. New Exam hall, new administration block, new aquatic centre, new primary block. Built with sustainability in mind, the building it literally 5 degrees cooler in summer.
