About ISS Asia Pacific Office

While our global work and services are centralized through our headquarters in Princeton, NJ USA, we have a dedicated Asia Pacific Office which allows us to have frequent, on-the-ground support throughout China and Southeast Asia.

For more than thirty years ISS has been starting and managing high-quality international schools in China and Southeast Asia.

To recognize the importance of education to the Asia Pacific region, International Schools Services established a base in the city of Shenzhen from where our team of professionals can provide global advice with a local context. ISS works closely with investors and government to provide a unique range of services to support the establishment and efficient management of schools. Every community is different and so each school is unique to meet the needs of parents, owners and local authorities.

School Start-Up and Management

Opening a school in China or in the wider Asia Pacific area requires a finessed understanding of local regulations and cultural needs, beyond the critical requirement of how to open and operate a thriving, world-class school. The seasoned ISS team has experience in working with investors, philanthropists, and educational supporters to bring their goals to fruition. The ISS team can provide assistance with starting either nonprofit or for-profit international schools that can support a variety of student populations, including Chinese citizens, dual citizens, or a blend of students from around the world.
