About the International Schools Partnership

The Aquila School is owned by a London based company called International
Schools Partnership (ISP). The International Schools Partnership (ISP) is a
growing group of committed colleagues in financially responsible schools
around the world, all of which aim to be the school of choice in their local
area. Learning is at the heart of everything we do for our pupils, colleagues
and parents. We are committed to getting better, all the time.

ISP was founded by an experienced team of committed educationalists and
commercial operators who have worked together over many years. Our growing
group of private schools located in the UK, the USA, Spain, Costa Rica, Chile,
the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Malaysia, and Mexico educate children and
pupils from ‎2-‎18 years of age. We have now expanded to ‎51 schools delivering
multiple curricula and building on local brands and reputations with over
‎30,000 pupils and ‎5,000 staff located across the globe.

We believe that successful schools are the ones that put learning at the heart
of everything they do, always aiming to create rounded individuals that are
able to forge successful careers and lives in a rapidly changing world. Our
goal is to enable our schools as the leading school of choice in their local
area. We are a truly international group working in different cultures and
speaking different languages. We work across countries and cultures, too, by
working with each other and with other schools and communities. At ISP we
continue to engage with schools around the world who are interested in
becoming part of our global group of schools and look forward to welcoming
more pupils and staff to the group.

All our schools:
*
Help children and pupils learn to levels that amaze them.

Inspire children and pupils to be successful now and equip them to be
successful later.

Are truly international, working in partnerships within and across regions,
cultures and languages.
