I would like to welcome you to the International School Aamby web pages and hope they will provide you with useful information. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have a question.

ISA is a co-educational boarding school that caters to students aged between 8 and 18.  Our aim is to provide a friendly and caring international community, which values a holistic approach to education.

ISA is located in Aamby Valley City, 2 ½ hours from south-east of Mumbai and 1 ½ hours south-west of Pune. We are situated within an expansive, safe and beautiful landscape. Few boarding schools in the world enjoy the natural advantages that Aamby Valley has to offer its students and staff. Not only will this unique environment augment the relevance of a curriculum designed for the 21 st century, it is certain to enrich the experience of living away from home. One of our great plusses is that ISA has room in which to educate. Our tranquil campus contains a friendly and dynamic educational community: where students are enthusiastically engaged and challenged in the learning process by creative, caring and skilled teachers; and where teachers, support staff and parents work together to create an environment that nurtures an appreciation of the skills and experience of each segment of the community.

The programme at ISA allows every child to be known as an individual, and to be encouraged and challenged accordingly. At the center of the School’s philosophy is the desire – necessity, even – to understand the needs of each child. While we have high academic and behavioral expectations, we believe every child can succeed, and class sizes and talented teachers at ISA encourage the students to grow and develop to their full potential.

We offer a curriculum incorporating internationally recognised educational principles and practices. The curriculum offered throughout the school emphasizes inquiry-based learning. In Standards 3 – 6, we implement the International Primary Curriculum (IPC); students in Standards 7 and 8 follow the Cambridge preparation Studies (CPS); students in Standards 9 and 10 undertake the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and in Standards 11 and 12 we offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. All our programmes provide high academic standards so that your children are prepared for the next stage in their educational careers.

The selection of the right school for your children is one of the most important decisions you must make. It is with great pleasure, therefore, that I invite you to browse through our website, but better still, to come to see us in person so that you can feel for yourselves the ethos of our school. We are very proud of our School and would enjoy sharing the ISA experience with you.



Warm wishes
