Our son attended ISSOS n St. Andrews, Scotland when he was 15 and 16. He had a fantastic experience and we were so comfortable that he was in great hands with Jen and the staff. He loved the programs and the golf was incredible. He is in college now and we often say that ISSOS was such a confidence builder and important prerequisite for college and life. He made friends with people from different parts of the world and still keeps in touch with several. We also had two students visit our home. We cannot recommend the experience highly enough. Thank you, ISSOS!

They took great care of my daughter over the three weeks. She has made life long friends that she still keeps in touch with and always brings up activities and moments from that summer.

Before enrolling our daughter (15 ½ years old) to ISSOS’s summer camp at Yale (debate & tennis) we were aware of ISSOS’s reputation and of the high standards of its programs. Upon her arrival at Yale our daughter e-mailed that “everything was perfect, the coaches were hilarious and the daily schedule full and challenging”. And we are now delighted to write about the tremendous benefit she gained in her debating skills. In our view, the blend of ISSOS’s global approach (with the presence of bright young men and ladies from all over the world) and of Yale’s ivy-league culture gives students the right incentives to pursue academic excellence and become citizens of world.

I had two sons at ISSOS (St. Andrews and Cambrigde). For both of them it was an excellent experience to learn English and socialize in an international environment. They made friends and memories for life. I have one more son (11 y) and he will also attend ISSOS when he becomes older.

My daughter and son who are three years apart went to ISSOS when they were 15 and loved it. Beautiful surroundings, stimulating international atmosphere and enough structured activities to make it fun. They enrolled in the golf program and the Speech and Debate Course which were great experiences. The counselors were outstanding.

My daughter Lea went to St Andrews . She did Youth leadership and chose film as an elective. Both were fantastic choices and she learned a lot. I really would like to thank ISSOS for that fantastic summer! I recommend ISOS to everyone! Marie

My two teenage nieces went to ISSOS program in St Andrews, Scotland and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. ISSOS's program is academic, cultural, sportive, and also adventurous. It's a right blend for my nieces and I am glad they learnt in such a fun and enlightening environment with brilliant students and teachers from all over the world.

I had a fantastic time at ISSOS (St Andrews) in 2012. All the staff were amazing, very helpful and always there for us. There was a wide range of fantastic activities and day trips and the lessons were very interesting as well. I made friends from all over the world and I returned home much more confident. I highly recommend it!

My son, Ian, joined the St Andrews summer camp in 2014. He had such a good time and it was an eye opening experience for him. He will remember that experience for rest of his life.

Choosing ISSOS is one of the best thing that I have ever made in life. My son has lots of positive experiences from ISSOS. He never said a negative thing about ISSOS. He went to other summer school before but said ISSOS is the best. We already registered again this year and our son is looking foward to another awesome experience at ISSOS.

I have been to ISSOS three times and those three summers were the best summers of my life! I have met the most amazing people and made great friends in just three weeks! If I could do it again I would! Sadly i’m too old now....

An amazing experience and beautiful memories for my son Burton who attended many summers in a row the summer school at St Andrews . He won the fda french national debating championship thanks to various skills he acquired at Issos . I found the spirit of the coaches very pleasant and the executives so kind . Thank you for all those good moments !
