ISE: A Global Learning Community

ISE’s international community continues to grow, with connections to former students, teachers, and other international schools. To promote intercultural understanding and respect, we organize various activities and maintain regular communication with our global friends.

Our teachers come from 11 countries, and our students represent 31 nationalities, forming the vibrant ISE Learning Community.

Our Senior Leadership team is comprised of our three Principal Coordinators and the school Director.

At times, we include other important school leaders in our meetings as needed, including our Admissions Officer, Administrative Officer / Personnel Manager, Activities Coordinator, and Dean of Students who are also parts of our overall school leadership team.

We use multiple channels to stay connected:

Email is the primary communication method with parents.

ManageBac serves as a key link between parents and classrooms.

Newsletters and Blogs include updates on recent and upcoming activities, ways for parents to get involved, and general tips on education and parenting.

Stay updated with our latest news on our Facebook page.

We are grateful for the support of our Parent Teacher Association (PTA), which plays a vital role in school life.

For those new to Estonia, Estonia.eu offers valuable resources about the country’s rich history and culture.
