We believe every student should develop the skills to reflect, adapt and grow with confidence - skills that go beyond academics and prepare them for life.
Backed by Cambridge University through Camtree, International Schools Partnership’s Life Competencies framework ensures students gain the essential skills to make informed decisions, build strong relationships and thrive in their ever-changing world.
These skills are embedded throughout the learning experience, ensuring that every student actively develops the mindset and capabilities needed to succeed - now and in the future.
International learning is part of our schools’ DNA. Our students are encouraged to explore a range of world languages.
They strengthen their home or first language while learning at least one world language - ensuring they can communicate, collaborate and thrive in global environments.
This approach supports academic progress and prepares students for learning, careers and leadership in an interconnected world.
As part of International Schools Partnership, students take part in international learning opportunities that challenge thinking, spark curiosity and build global connections.Whether debating world issues at Model United Nations, competing in international chess tournaments, or collaborating on creative projects, every experience encourages students to ask big questions, reflect on their progress and make confident decisions.
These opportunities bring students together across countries and cultures, helping them think independently, communicate effectively and adapt to new challenges - skills they will use for life.
Future Pathways is a personalised programme that helps students explore opportunities, make informed decisions and confidently move towards university or careers.
With specialist guidance and industry connections, students gain valuable insights, refine their goals and access opportunities aligned with their ambitions.

As the parents of two beautiful little girls, nothing is more important to my husband and I than providing them with a solid foundation that they can build their future upon.
The key component of that solid foundation is providing them with the best education. When we set out on our journey to find the right school for our daughters, we took that decision very seriously and we assessed all of our options.

One of my favorite things about Henderson International School is having different teachers throughout the day who teach their subjects.
I'm a 'techie' so I love computer science and the connection between technology and art in our digital arts class with Ms. Tognoli. The thing that excites me most about going to Henderson International School is just being in school... It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to be in school right now.
