School Management

"What about my child's education?"

The education of children is ranked highest among the concerns expressed by parents considering an international assignment. Internationally relocating parents want assurance that their children will receive an education equal to or better than the one they would receive at home. When international companies and entrepreneurs develop operations in areas where there are no established international schools, they engage the services of ISS School Management to determine the need and extent for educational services.

ISS has developed and managed schools for client companies throughout the world for more than 45 years. Turning the challenges of schooling in unfamiliar and sometimes isolated environments into first-class learning opportunities is the key focus of ISS. Schools developed by ISS rank among the best models of American and international education worldwide.

Thinking of Starting a School?

When starting a school, many questions need to be considered:

   What are the key specifications needed in constructing a school to
           ensure that international and US accrediting standards are met?

Can the school become accredited? How long will it take?

   What curriculum model should be used? Will it ensure successful
           reintegration into a school in the US or elsewhere?

   What school materials will be needed and where can they be
           purchased?

What role will technology serve at the school?

   Where will we find excellent teachers, and what will it cost for
          them to come to this location?

   What is the necessary infrastructure for the school? Budgets and
          Forecasts? Policy and Procedure Manual? Schedules?
          Calendars? Reporting Format?

How much lead time is necessary to start a school?

What is the Mission of the school?

What are the characteristics of the students who will be admitted?

   What will it cost to have a quality educational program delivered
          by excellent teachers in an atmosphere that is supportive of
          students, accepting of parents, and responsive to management?

ISS can provide the answers to these questions and provide the services that will result in the development of a quality school.
