The International School of Hyderabad (ISH) is a nurturing, dynamic international school in which each individual is valued and challenged.
We offer an individualised and personalised approach to learning; high priority is placed on learning how to learn, learning by doing and critical thinking skills. ISH’s vision is to provide high-quality holistic education in an inspiring learning environment that maximizes the potential of each individual to become a responsible global citizen.
ISH has its own school-based curriculum which was originally developed from the English National Curriculum. Being a truly international school and catering to students from such a wide variety of nationalities, teachers at ISH have developed a curriculum which incorporates best practices from the American, Australian, and European education systems.
In Grades 9-10, ISH follows the IGCSE, an international curriculum developed and administered by Cambridge University International Examinations.
In Grades 11-12, ISH follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, the most widely recognized international curriculum in the world.
ISH is accredited by two foreign accreditation agencies: the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the Council of International Schools (CIS).
The majority of the students at ISH are from abroad. That said, ISH is able to admit a limited number of Indian citizens.
ISH focuses on preparing students for university abroad and indeed almost all our students go to university abroad. Most attend universities in the United States that have competitive admission requirements.
ISH was founded in 1972 and has over 8 years experience administering the IGCSE Cambridge Exams and was the first school in Hyderabad to introduce the IB Diploma Programme 5 years ago.
ISH is a non-profit organization formally managed and sponsored by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), also a not-for-profit organisation. This set-up provides the school with the status of a school administered by a foreign/consular mission.
