I hope you will find that the site provides you with all the information that you need
about our school.
If you are a parent researching possible schools for your child(ren) there is detailed
curriculum information about each of the three academic sections of the school.
If you are a teacher considering a new position, there is information on how to make
application to the school.
If you are just browsing, you will find a lot of information about an extraordinary
school, accredited by N.E.A.S.C. (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) and
the Council of International Schools (C.I.S.) who accredit us from Early Years
to Grade 10.
Cuba is a fascinating country and I.S.H. offers a unique perspective on life on
the island and in the equally fascinating city of Havana.
The principles underlying everything we do are enshrined in the School Mission,
Philosophy and Objectives Statement. We aim to use that statement and our vision
of the I.S.H. of the future as a guide and as a support point for current day to
day operations and for our strategic view of school development.
For many of us, the school is a home away from home and is the focus of life here
in Havana. Many of the parent body devote extensive amounts of time to assisting
the school and thereby offering a richer experience for the children.
As a School we aim to positively influence the lives of the young people that
become our students, so profoundly that they will never forget the experience
of being a student at the International School of Havana.
I hope you enjoy your mini-visit to I.S.H.!
