Arts & ISK
The arts are a key focus at our school. In the High School and Primary School art exhibitions, students present their multi-month projects, and our own theatre delights audiences with annual productions on the main stage. These small steps lead to great achievements: for example, one ISK alumna is currently studying to be a producer at Brunel University London.
