A warm welcome to the International School of Berne
The International School of Berne (ISBerne) provides a high quality academic programme which encourages students to be reflective and involved in the learning process. This starts in the Early Learning Centre and progresses through to Grade 12.
Our dedication to excellence in international education has been part of the school drive to develop as an International Baccalaureate World School. The school's IB Diploma programme was established in 1997; we were authorised to offer the IB Primary Years Programme in January 2007 and the IB Middle Years Programme in April 2007. We are one of only 130 IB schools worldwide authorised to offer all three IB programmes.
Students at ISBerne are prepared for the future, a life of challenges, understanding of cultural diversity and the ability to work with others.
