International Summer Courses Ltd is a successful company offering a bespoke and personalized service to students, parents and schools. As the Director of the company, I take a personal interest in all students attending our courses and have extensive experience as an IB coordinator, teacher and examiner. ISC has a safeguarding policy and takes student safety and protection extremely seriously and all teachers and staff working with students have been police checked. Qualified first aid personnel are available to students at all times. My professional experience has involved me working in a variety of IB schools worldwide including establishments in Mexico, UK, France, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. This extensive experience has provided me with a heightened awareness of the demands of the IB program and the unique needs of IB students. I believe very strongly in the philosophy of the IB and consider that the beautiful surroundings of Stanford University enhance our ability to deliver a unique and academic IB experience for all our students.

"The course was very well organised and I felt my daughter was well taken care of as soon as she arrived in San Francisco and throughout the whole three weeks. As a parent of a youngster this age this is so very important. Thank you for everything!"

All the IB subject teachers who teach on our program are accomplished, expert and qualified teachers currently teaching in IB schools around the world, many are also IB examiners. All our staff live in the Stanford dorm alongside the students which means they are available for the duration of the program to provide reassurance and answer any queries. Their aim is to provide an environment where students can maximize their Stanford experience whilst enjoying their time on our program. Together with Stanford graduate students, who work alongside our experienced teaching staff, we offer an exciting sports and social program that completes the Stanford experience for our students.
