Director’s Welcome

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at the International School of Estonia! I am truly honored and excited to have joined this exceptional community as your Director and to be completing my first year, here. Having served as an educational leader for over 20 years internationally, including 10 years in the US, and as a former IB Diploma Programme parent, I have a deep understanding of the individualized support that enables students to thrive.

ISE is more than just a school; it is a community with a rich history and holds a special place in Estonia’s educational landscape. As Estonia’s first international school and the first IB World School authorized to offer the full PYP, MYP, and DP continuum, we provide a unique and internationally recognized education. Our triple accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS), the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) ensures that every graduate receives a high school diploma recognized around the world.

We believe in fostering a supportive and nurturing environment where every student is empowered to reach their full potential and become a globally minded, positive force for change. I am committed to building strong relationships with our students, parents, and staff, and I encourage you to reach out and connect. I am eager to experience firsthand the dynamic educational atmosphere that defines ISE and supports every learner on their diverse pathways to 21st-century learning and global leadership.

I warmly welcome you to the ISE family!

Joseph Levno, Director
