Welcome to Our World. . .
I would like to send a warm welcome to everyone who has taken the time to visit our school’s website. Thank you for wishing to learn more about our school community.
Founded in 1966, the International School of Stavanger has a long and strong tradition of serving the needs of those seeking an English-language education in the dynamic Stavanger Region.
With 700 students representing some 44 nationalities from six continents, ISS truly is a crossroads of diversity. UK, US and Norwegian citizens are the three largest national groups represented in the school.
The ISS vision reminds us that we “prepare students for greater global participation by helping them become responsible, empowered learners.” On this site, you will find evidence of some of the ways we work together to accomplish that vision. Our international curriculum has been carefully designed to stretch our students while they are here in Stavanger and prepare them for universities around the world, for their next international assignment, or back to their home country. Both the IB Diploma and the IGCSE are available for high school students and many years of strong results underscore the dedication of our students and teachers working together.
With a world-class staff, a wonderfully supportive Board of Trustees, an active and positive Parent Association and—best of all--our remarkable student body, ISS has much to offer.
