International School Manila

Founded in 1920 as the American School, International School Manila (ISM) is the oldest international school in the Philippines and one of the most prestigious in Southeast Asia. Located on a sprawling campus in Bonifacio Global City, the school serves a diverse population of over 2,000 students representing more than 80 nationalities. ISM operates as a private, non-profit, non-sectarian institution governed by a Board of Trustees elected from the parent community.

The school’s philosophy centers on providing a challenging program that empowers students to become responsible global citizens. The curriculum is primarily American-based, culminating in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme in the final two years of high school. ISM is renowned for its exceptional academic results, a robust scholarship program for Filipino students, and a wide array of specialized facilities for the arts, sciences, and athletics.

Notable features include a state-of-the-art fine arts center, extensive library resources, and a dedicated 'Service Learning' program that integrates community engagement into the student experience. The school is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Council of International Schools (CIS).
