ABOUT US

Welcome to the ISB Parent Community

 

As soon as your child becomes a student at ISB, your family becomes part of the ISB Family Association (FA). Led by parents in our community, the FA has a mission to build a well-informed school community where all families are welcomed, all families are encouraged to participate, and all nationalities are celebrated. The FA hosts a number of activities and events throughout the year to connect, engage, and support our community. 

Our Role

Our role is to help you feel part of the ISB community from day one. We achieve this through various initiatives, including events, classes and workshops, volunteering opportunities, communications, and initiatives that bring us together, on and off the campus, throughout the year.

Our Mission

Led by parents in our community, the Family Association has a mission to build a well-informed school community where all families are welcomed, all families are encouraged to participate, and all nationalities are celebrated.

Meet the FA Team

There are around 30 people in the Operations Team and they meet on a monthly basis. A maximum of eight people form the Executive Committee and they meet once a month with the Director of ISB and report back to the Operations Team. The FA President sits on the Board (as a non-voting member) and reports back to the Executive and Operations Teams. The FA plays a vital role in ensuring that parents’ voices are heard up to the highest level of the ISB Administration and Board.

Throughout the year, we have plenty of opportunities to meet in person. In the meantime, below is a list of our FA Team Members for this school year. Feel free to get in touch with us with any questions, suggestions, or ideas you would like to share.
