The International School of Dublin (ISD) was established in 2007 to meet a need for educational diversity in Ireland. At present, our students are aged 3-12 and represent over 20 different nationalities.
ISD is the only accredited IB World Primary School in Ireland. It is a small, private, non-profit school that is co-educational, non-denominational, and culturally diverse.
We believe that our school’s success is due to our internationally regarded curriculum (IBPYP) and how it is lived out by our students, staff, and parents.
At ISD you will find a welcoming and lively environment, which is characterized by collaborative and purposeful activity. ISD students benefit from an innovative form of schooling, a broad education that promotes inquiring, open-minded, and principled learners who are reflective risk-takers.
Small class sizes are guided by internationally experienced staff. Students inquire into the world in which they live and ultimately develop themselves as global, internationally-minded citizens. Our students are encouraged, guided, and challenged to engage with real-life learning experiences. We aim for the success and achievement of each child.
International School of Dublin endeavors to develop the intellectual, aesthetic, moral, physical, social, and emotional potential of its students through inquiry-based teaching and learning. ISD strives to be a center for professional and curriculum development. The school provides excellent international education through the promotion of high academic standards, international understanding, and full parental involvement.
At ISD we feel that one of the fundamental goals of education is to encourage a love of learning. By nature, children are active inquirers and we believe our students retain far more knowledge when given the freedom to have ownership over their learning. Our students engage in intellectual exploration while teachers gently guide, encourage and inspire students to navigate through an inquiry cycle and develop a variety of enduring skills.
