May – July 2026
Looking Back, Moving Forward
Dear ISPP Families,
Welcome to the 2026-27 school year!
The past academic year was defined by how deeply our new Mission and core Values have resonated throughout every aspect of our school. Rather than just words on a wall, we have watched these four pillars come alive daily:
Curiosity: Our students have displayed an incredible appetite for learning new things, exploring the unknown, and diving into deep, inquiry-based learning.
Courage: Inside the classroom, on the stage, and on the sports fields, we witnessed our students taking risks, pushing personal limits, and being brave.
Care: Our students have consistently focused on acting in a principled way, demonstrating empathy, and actively working to show they care.
Community: Our students have developed a deeper understanding of our diverse community, communicating effectively, and creating belonging for everyone.
This past year, we have also been engaged in our 5-year Accreditation Self-Study. This is a quality assurance process that has us evaluate our school against a set of international standards established by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO). The self-study process relies on participation from faculty, staff, parents and students through an evidence-based alignment to the accreditation standards. The formal evaluation visit is scheduled for the coming October, and we look forward to the feedback we will receive from the external peer visitors at that time.
To our returning families, welcome back to the land of Falcons! To the new families and teachers joining us for the very first time, we are absolutely thrilled to welcome you into our community.
Eileen Niedermann
Director
