ISSOS both in Cambridge in 2018 and in St Andrews in 2019 have been a fantastic experience for my son. He loved it, met fantastic people, came back stronger, more self confident. It has also influenced his decision to apply for University abroad. You really do a fantastic job and I am very grateful as mother.

I think my daughter enjoyed this summer school. It was first time to attend a summer school for her, and she was a little bit nervous at first. However, after the experience, she was saying that she has a nice time by making new friends and learning the culture. I am happy for her.

Thanks a lot to the ISSOS team! This place is for new impressions, knowledge, friendship and decisions. My child learned a lot about herself. I am, as a parent, thankful for that!

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’

ISSOS was the first summer school that I attended. I was so nervous before I got there but once I was there I didn’t want to leave! I made so many friends from all over the world and I still talk to them daily. The teachers and counselors are so nice and helpful. It really is an experience of a lifetime

My daughter just entered from Issos st andrews, she enjoyed a lot, wished it was even longer as she did lot of friends from all over the world as well as she appreciated councellors very friendly like big amazing family. She learned a lot from different cultures, she loved the place ,advantures and classes.. She wishes she can go again and encouraging her sister and friend to go even if at younger age because it is very safe and caring stuff ! Also following them on social media was a great and supportive idea for parents as our kids were more likely to leave every moment there than to chat with us .... wish we can have more photos from the final scottish dance or party :))) thank you again you are amazing our daughter is happy, we re happy.. bravoooo

Both my daughters attended ISSOS St. Andrews for the first time this year. They both raved about how friendly and well organised this camp was and both said it was the best camp they attended so far. They particularly liked the counsellors, the games and the afternoon activities (film and drama) as well as the overall supportive atmosphere. One of them did debate which has proven to be a great growth opportunity and experience. The other one did the 'pre-IB' course and was a bit disappointed as primarily they were made to work on an essay during the course which did not get collected and graded as the instructor seems to have been busy with her own PhD thesis. Instead she had hoped to learn more about study skills than just some relaxation techniques. However, this was the only criticism I heard - everything else seems to have been just fantastic, specifically the international and friendly spirit of it all. Both of them said that they would want to return and their brother is now interested as well.

We encouraged our daughter to attend in order to develop a larger view of the world. That goal was definitely accomplished! She formed strong friendships with teens from all over the world and really didn’t want to come home. She had so much fun with all the activities. For her it truly was “the experience of a lifetime”.
