I had the time of my life at ISSOS this summer. It really grew my confidence and my helped me build my character. I met some of the most amazing people who taught me to become a better version of myself. The classes were enlightening and productive, helping me learn about different subjects. The diversity was spectacular with people from all over the world coming together and sharing different stories. I would do it all over again. ISSOS is also very well structured with day trips planned and evening activities organised. The counsellor’s are very supportive and always there for you. Huge thank you to ISSOS!

A very BIG Thank-you to the great St Andrews ISSOS team We (the parents and our 14 ½ years old son) opted for ISSOS’s St Andrews camp because (a) of our previous positive experience with ISSOS Yale and (b) of St Andrews’s reputation as one of the most famous places worldwide. Being curious about the claims of St Andrews’s fame, I traveled to St Andrews and visited ISSOS’s camp. I must admit that my trip beat my initial, high expectations. In fact, I was amazed by the reputation surrounding St Andrews: the unique beach scenery, the university buildings, the historic stone architecture, the cohort of international students. The students spent 3 weeks in this iconic and absolutely safe village of St Andrews. They were daily “one with nature”, among others by doing activities on “West Sands”, which -- in all honesty -- is one of the most exquisite beaches in the world (and featured in the Oscar awarded film “Chariots of Fire”). And, equally important, they got a true taste of university campus life, as their academic activities were taking place in the centuries-old university buildings. I was privileged to meet ISSOS’s team at the parent reception on Sa, 19 July, one day before the students’ departure. The day after, I was again at the University premises for my son’s check-out. As the students were departing, I witnessed the wonderful, rare, emotional bond that the staff had established with the students, which made the separation “difficult” and heart-breaking. These counselors and teachers were offering the students their friendship in abundance, and were making sure that the students enjoy every day, every activity and every single moment. Their mission is to make sure that the students have a hilarious stay, an “unforgettable experience”. They can handle difficult and “delicate” issues, if needed. These guys are bringing tons of academic knowledge and professional skills from different fields and environments. Above all, they have an unparalleled enthusiasm to embrace the students and work with them. In one sentence: It was a genuine, great pleasure and a privilege to meet you, guys, in St Andrews. I wish you all the best in your personal and professional endeavors. The least I can do for all these wonderful young ladies and gentlemen is to send a “very BIG “Thank-you to the great St Andrews Team”. Alexander

Our daughter attended the second session at St Andrews this summer, and she couldn't have had a better experience. It's no exaggeration to say that she was happy from the moment she arrived until the moment she tearfully left! This was especially reassuring for us, as she was visiting all the way from Canada and felt quite anxious before going. As parents, we highly recommend this program.

It’s my son first ISSOS and the program gave him much more than we anticipated. The teachers and counselors were very supportive through the program. He learned a lot and also met a lot of great friend from around the world. And best of all, he finally figured out what he really wants to major in college. Thank you for making a memorable summer for him and his friends.

The confidence which ISSOS brings in their student, their approach towards academics, sports, bringing students together from all parts of the world is amazing, highly recommended to parents who are looking for a summer program which is for sure a life time experience 👍 The campus at Yale was awesome and the staff were very co operative right from the first day when they were registered till the day they were flying back home.

Truly the experience of a lifetime!! I went to St. Andrews S2 and it was just so much fun! Academics were really interesting as I took Leadership and same goes for electives! The teachers are really professional and so are the counselors. They know what they are doing but most importantly they know how to make you feel at home. Excursions and activities were so much fun!! I truly hope that the friends and acquaintances I made there last a lifetime as they are all so fun and interesting to hang out with as they come from all over the world. Thank you so much ISSOS for everything. I'm never going to forget this summer.

Both of our kids, so very different, came home with so much growth, development, and truly having had a wonderful adventure (Cambridge & St. Andrews campuses). They had a true taste of university campus life and received solid instruction in their areas of study. A beautiful balance of structure and independence. The academic classes, the excursions, their counselors, the wonderful people from all over the world that they have met and befriended - a superior and enriching experience for them both.

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...

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

My daughter had a great experience at the summer camp. She made life long friendships and she loved learning about different cultures. Her time at Cambridge nourished her passion to learn and be the best person she can be.
