To promote student success and community engagement, the ISE experience is undergirded with a network of learning opportunities, social activities, and academic assistance. The school building includes a gymnasium on the second floor and is surrounded on three sides by playground areas for sports and break times. The school rents facilities at the Tallinna Spordihall,which is located just across the street. This 10,325 square meter facility is used as a training arena by the Estonian Olympians. The all-indoor structure, built in 1998, features a full running track, pole vault, high jump, two indoor tennis courts, gym, sauna, lockers and dressing rooms. In addition, the school rents tennis courts from the Tallinna Kalevi Tenniseklubi, located 75 meters from the school. The club offers six outdoor, clay tennis courts. The local stadium and training area are used for outdoor activities. A dedicated assembly area is located on the first floor. ISE rents facilities, when needed, with large auditoriums for the annual talent show and the graduation and leaving ceremony. The school is not able to cater for students with serious mobility limitations. Outdoor play is an important part of a child's development and plays an important role in our school-life. Our playground is tailored to compliment the school curriculum and has been designed to really focus on what a child needs at each stage of their development. The Learning Commons underwent a major expansion and remodel during the summer of 2007. The Center features dedicated spaces for instruction, studying and an 8-station computer center. Parents and faculty often come in to check out a book for themselves and their children. The library has an adequate collection of approximately 10,000 titles, and growing online database and an ongoing development policy, acquisition and de-selection procedures.
The International School of Estonia (ISE) is located at 18 Juhkentali, just a 10 minute walk to Old Town and a 5 minute drive to the airport.
