Company profile

researched Aug 2026

International Schools Partnership (ISP) is a group of private international schools. Its website reports 120 schools operating in more than 26 markets, over 17,600 employees, 24 academic curricula and a student body variously stated as 118,000 and 132,000+ students. Schools serve age ranges from early years (from age two) through to age 18, and individual campuses follow national, bilingual and international curricula, including the International Baccalaureate continuum, British, Indian, Spanish, Chilean and Montessori programmes, taught in English and in local languages such as Spanish and Tamil.

ISP frames its educational model around five "Learning Pillars": academic achievement, multilingualism, life competencies, international opportunities and future pathways. Group-level programmes include cross-school "International Programmes" (with more than 40,000 student participants a year), career counselling supported by a network of trained counsellors and an "A to Z Speaker Series", and an EdTech strategy that applies digital tools and AI to personalised learning while positioning technology as a complement to teachers. The group also runs a sustainability strategy covering emissions, plastics and recycling across its school communities, and publishes family-facing and research-oriented content through its Family Hub and "The Evidence Exchange".

Business model

ISP operates a portfolio of fee-paying private international schools, combining group-level standards, vision and shared programmes with each school's local identity and curriculum, and grows both organically and by adding existing schools to the group.
