Student Review:

"I have been going to ISSOS every summer for the past 3 years and I can honestly say they were the best summers of my life. I have met a lot amazing people from so many different countries around the world and made friendships that I know will last forever.

It’s not even just the students that attend that are amazing, but the counselors and teachers as well. I have learnt so much at ISSOS, not only from my academics and electives but also from my friends, counselors and teachers. I guess the ISSOS slogan is right, it really is the experience of a lifetime."
