My daughter spent her first summer at St. Andrews and loved it so much she went back the following summer to Cambridge. The program is well-run, and the classes and activities are terrific! I have recommended this program to many people and will continue to do so.

My son, Will, gained a tremdous amount of confidence during his summer at St. Andrews with ISSOS. The easy comraderie created by the instructors allowed him to make lasting friends from all over the world. He gained debating skills that made him more confident in his classes this year. Will was also proud to be selected to play a round of golf on the famous Old Course!

My daughter returned from St Andrews a more confident and positive person. She remains friends with those she met some three years later and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The following year she attended the Cambridge campus with just as positive an experience and still talks of the wonderful times she had at ISSOS. Her brother will be going this summer and I have no doubt he will be asking to return the following year.

The whole ISSOS team takes very much care of everything and they help you in case of any problems. The kids have lots of fun and they learn a lot during the three weeks at ISSOS. That‘s the reason why our son will return. Thanks!

My son attended ISSOS at St. Andrews for two summers and loved it. He made some fantastic friends from around the world and even three years later remains in close contact with them, visiting when circumstances allow. ISSOS offers a wonderful and unique combination of academics and extracurriculars with a wide range of options for anyone. I was so happy to have discovered this camp and very highly recommend it to all!

It was a great experience for my son where he found a well structured course and an amazing programme. The beauty of it was how this event could mix the academic benefit with fun.

Issos was an enchanting experience for my son. He met many boys and girls from different Countries and he had a perfect mix between sport (golf especially), study and jokes. So, I can suggest absolutely!

I had an absolutely great time at ISSOS St Andrews in 2016! When they say it's the experience of a lifetime, they really aren't kidding! It's all of that and so much more, it's the perfect place to meet people from all around the world, build lasting friendships and learn all at once! The accommodation is great, the lessons are great, the activities are great and so are the electives, I completely recommend it. Whilst I only had the privilege of attending ISSOS once, it's an experience I'll never forget, with memories I'll cherish forever. The lessons I learned from my Youth Leadership course I still apply to everyday life and I absolutely love their Clan Games. In fact, it was ISSOS that got me interested in Tennis and after my summer in St Andrews, I decided to return home and start playing and learning seriously. ISSOS teachers are second to none, and ISSOS counsellors are the nicest people you will ever meet. I never wanted leave ISSOS that summer, and I hope to apply to be an ISSOS counsellor in the future.

ISSOS has been AMAZING. I liked it so much that I went for four consecutive years. I made so many new friends from all over the world with which I still keep in touch, and I feel that this is something amazing. It taught me how to adapt to the boarding school I eventually went to and to the university as well. How I wish to go back in time and go to ISSOS once more.

ISSOS, contrary to all other camps I have stayed at, has made me feel at home. I have met the most amazing people, most of which I am still friends with today. Over these three weeks you become so close to these people that it's hard to leave at the end of the camp. Every individual is so special and motivated that they have inspired me to do more of what I love and to strive for my goals. ISSOS was my first introduction to debate, I fell in love with it and after two years of debating both at issos and at home, I'm the captain of my school's debating society. It really was, without doubt 'The experince of a lifetime'.

My 14 year old son Charlie had a great time at St. Andrew's. He was a bit nervous when we dropped him off, but when we went to collect him he was brimming with excitement and reluctant to say goodbye to his new friends. He especially enjoyed the debating course, but also just the fresh air and freedom and stimulation of new people in a new place and lots of new experiences.

My daughter attended ISSOS for 4 summers. She enjoyed every session, made many friends and was able to explore diverse options such as golf, film and debate. The experience at ISSOS has resulted in global friendships, new interests and confidence. It is truly an amazing program and has the potential to be life changing!

We sent our daughter to Issos St. Andrews. It was a great experience for her and helped her a lot in her IB program. She learned a lot and got much more confident. We can clearly recommend the summer school.

We sent our son Luca to Issos St. Andrews and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. He came back more confident and full of stories of amazing experiences he had and of the new friends he made. The whole program was well rounded and his counselors were great teachers. The only thing that he was unhappy about was that his time there was too short!

I spent two summers at ISSOS, one in Cambridge 2016, and one in Yale 2017. I made a lot of very good friends during that time, and I loved it a lot. Also, the two campuses, and the structure of the day was so different at the two campuses. So going twice is definitely not a bad idea!
