From the Director
Dear ISO Community,
As we approach the end of this term, I am filled with pride as we reflect on the progress and achievements that have taken place over the past sixteen weeks. While this has been a time of challenge for all of us, it has also been one of resilience, growth, and community spirit.
We are celebrating not only the hard work and success of our students but also the dedication and commitment of our exceptional staff and faculty. Every member of the ISO community has played a vital role in making this school year a time of progress. The improvements we see in MAP scores, student behavior, and community spirit are a direct result of the tireless efforts of all stakeholders—students, teachers, parents, and administrators—working together in the face of adversity.
As is typical for international schools, we will see a few families moving on after tomorrow. We wish the following families Happy Trails -- the Zerbout Family - Ines, Aydan and Rayan, Rayane Kone, and the Milubi Family - Jessica, Vukhudo and Tshamano. We will miss you all!
As we move into the holiday season, I want to take a moment to wish each of you a restful and restorative break. May this time bring you the opportunity to recharge and enjoy quality moments with family and friends. We all deserve this time to reflect, relax, and return in the new year ready to continue our journey of growth and success.
Please note that the school administration office will be open from December 16 to January 2, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
However, we will be closed on the national holidays of:
- Christmas (Wednesday, December 25)
- New Year’s Day (Wednesday, January 1)
- and Popular Uprising Day (Friday, January 3)
Wishing you all a restful and joyous holiday, filled with special moments and renewed energy for the year ahead. I look forward to seeing you all in the new year!
Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, & Happy New Year!
Myna Anderson, Director
