“Dear Emma and Louise and all the staff at ISSOS, I had to write you a letter of thank all the staff for their hard work and effort, Noah thoroughly enjoyed learning and participating in activities, and his only regret is that he could have spent more time on campus. It’s an experience of a lifetime that he will never forget. The organisation and management of so many students were very professional, and I would highly recommend them to all my friends. Noah cannot wait for next year to go back to ISSOS, I am sure he will want to try Cambridge Campus out. Posting on social platforms was a great way to participate with the children even though we were not present. I thank you one more time and I hope that you will keep up the good work. You have been great!!! Many Thanks Jean Paul Barakat”

“Courses are well structured. Instructors are very good. Trips to Glasgow and Edinburgh very good: they give students independence, chance to explore. The 4 o’clock activities and the Sunday workshops should have been optional from the very beginning; there is not enough free time for students to rest, chat or wander around town. It was extremely tiring. Clan activities were mostly athletic and very repetitive, they could have included nonathletic activities. Facilities (dorm rooms and bathrooms) not great.”

“ISSOS, St. Andrews has deeply impressed our daughter in many ways: the atmosphere at the campus, the clans and the teacher were all a big and thoroughly positive experience for her. It helped her to grow both socially and mentally. And now she is more than eager to come back...”

“No question that our teenager previously had a great time at an ISSOS summer camp, that part is not in question. With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, understandably ISSOS canceled the 2020 summer sessions. Given that these were circumstances beyond everyone's control and certainly the control of the parents, we would have expected a full refund of our money. Regrettably, we were short changed on the refund by about $1000, between apparently non-refundable registration fees and currency exchange losses. How companies and other organizations treat their customers during a difficult time like this, tells you a lot about how the company is run and this has been a very disappointing experience for us. Despite ISSOS attempts to point back to contract terms and the fine print, companies should do the right thing and create some goodwill. Lesson learned...sharing with other parents who might be considering ISSOS for their children and young adults.”

As you have chosen to post anonymously we, unfortunately, can’t respond to your comment with specifics, but we would like to strongly refute some of the points that you have made.   We have been very sympathetic to families in this crisis. We have students from every corner of the world and their health and wellbeing is incredibly important to us. As you correctly stated this is the reason that we chose not to run this summer, because it simply would not be safe.   Everyone who had booked and paid for this summer was offered a full credit note and a guaranteed place at ISSOS for summer 2021. Where attending in 2021 was not possible, despite the fact that our T&Cs state that our full fees are non-refundable in the event of force majeure events, we chose to overlook that and do the right thing by our customers and so we fully refunded all tuition fees, which is the overwhelming bulk of what makes up the price that each parent pays for their child to attend ISSOS.   Currency conversion loses on returning money are unfortunately totally out-with our control if you paid in your own currency instead of our currency as the service provider. This is dictated by international exchange rates that our payment provider has sole discretion to determine and we do not make or get any money at all from this transaction.   We’re really disappointed that this has affected your view of our company, having said that your son/daughter had a great time with us in previous years. However, we strongly disagree that we have acted in a way that is dishonest and are saddened that you have chosen to use this to try to discourage others from giving their children the same great experience that you openly agree your child had with us.

“The summer school itself was a great experience for my son, who came to ISSOS (at Saint Andrews) for the first time. He liked the activities, the school lessons and the teachers a lot. The booking process was unsatisfactory, as there were uncertainties about the status of the application and reminders were sent for payments, that had already been made. There is room for improvement. During the Summer School, food on campus was a big topic: My son went out for both lunch and dinner because the food (according to my son and also according to his colleagues) was inedible. Since the Summer School has its price and the cost of food is included, it would be desirable to improve the quality of food.”

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback and we're really happy to hear that your son enjoyed his summer with us. We welcome constructive feedback as it helps us to improve our services, so we will take your comments about the food and aspects of the booking process into account and work on making things even better for the future. Thank you again, Team ISSOS
