IES SCHOOLS - A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY

A GLOBAL EDUCATION

International Education Systems is an innovative global education company owning and operating a growing number of schools throughout the United Kingdom, mainland Europe, South Africa and the United States of America.

The overriding aim is to provide high quality education, adapted to the needs of individual children, with an international perspective.

As a result, IES is one of only a handful of international organisations in the world to offer a structured programme of studies from Early Childhood

Education (pre-school) through to University level studies across a number of different countries.

IES is also part of a wider network of SEK Schools and Universities in Spain and South America. This network extends the opportunities for IES students to travel and study around the world.

Through IES I've studied in our sister schools in England, South Africa, Spain, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic. Same uniform, same courses, different cultures and experiences. I've made friends all around the world and I've loved every minute.

I am writing to say a proper thank you for taking Simon on the recent trip to Ecuador as part of InterSEK 2016. It was such a fantastic experience. Simon feels he has an Ecuadorian family now and it's such a benefit that St John's can offer because of IES and SEK. I feel humbled by Simon's experience. Thank you.

WHY CHOOSE AN IES SCHOOL?

Although all IES Schools follow a similar educational programme, each school has its own unique local flavour and attributes, from the traditional British boarding school environment provided by St John's (based in a quintessentially English seaside town) to the very latest educational campuses at Hout Bay and Blouberg in South Africa or the fantastic sporting facilities at Boca Prep in Florida.

For our students, the opportunity to experience new cultures whilst continuing with their education is unparalleled. Students are actively encouraged to travel to our sister schools, either as part of an organised group exchange, or to stay longer and study for a term or more at another school. All pupils also have the opportunity of taking part in InterSEK ? a sporting and cultural competition which, in recent years, has taken place in Dominican Republic (2014), Costa Rica (2015) and Ecuador (2016).

The IES Teacher Exchange also encourages the exchange of

ideas and concepts across the group with teachers travelling to our sister schools to provide mentoring whilst at the same time developing and informing their own learning. The sharing of ideas and concepts is encouraged in class too ? with regular inter-school Skype lessons and participation in multi-school events.

The IES network , combined with the benefits of the SEK group of schools, really does provide its students with a truly global perspective on their education - giving them experiences and opportunities which will help define their futures.

WHAT PROGRAMMES ARE ON OFFER?

IES schools provide educational programmes suited to the needs of their different local communities and, as a result, national and international programmes are on offer, all of which are officially recognised by their relevant national education authorities.

International programmes include:

International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), for 3-11 year olds

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, for 16-18 year olds

Cambridge International Examinations International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE)

These programmes and the qualifications to which they lead are widely recognised for the purposes of admission to the best universities and to other higher education courses. Language qualifications are also on offer according to students' needs.

We could never have imagined, when we enrolled our 2 year old daughter into Nursery at St John's, the incredible world of opportunities that St John's would open up. It is not only the students whose lives are enriched by the international students that visit St John's, sharing their languages, all-embracing enthusiasm as well as cultural diversity. As a family our lives have been enriched.... It has been very rewarding to watch these worldly friendships flourish and I believe these wonderful opportunities are unique to IES.
