ISL AT A GLANCE

We pride ourselves on the strong relationships that exist between our enthusiastic students, supportive parents/guardians along with the professionalism and dedication of our staff, to ensure a holistic education for all our students.

We encourage our students to actively participate in all areas of school life in order to help them achieve their full potential. In doing so, we strive to create a caring and supportive environment where all students are known, valued and respected.

There are a large number of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities in which all students are encouraged to participate. Student leadership and student voice are very important in the daily life of our school. In sports, we are doing really well; we hold our inter-house sports annually where our students excitedly exhibit their sporting skills.

Our major strength as a school in the area of sports is particularly in basketball in which the school has won so many laurels. Also our football teams are equally doing well.

Co-curricular activities that are available here in ISL include Literary and Debating, Athletics, Youth-Help-Youth and many more.

A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE

To date, staff and students continuously strive for improvement in academic excellence and this makes the school a most sought-after by parents/guardians, for their children’s/wards’ secondary school education. I am glad to state that we have a proud tradition of academic excellence in ISL.
