School Life & Houses

More Than Lessons, A Real School Community

Friendship, belonging and fun, because school is about so much more than grades.

Our Houses

Everyone belongs to a House

Every student is placed in one of four Houses after taking the House Quiz, so the fit is theirs rather than assigned at random. The Houses are the four points of the compass in our own badge.

  • North

    Integrity & Vision

  • East

    Innovation & Discovery

  • South

    Empathy & Community

  • West

    Resilience & Action

The House QuizTaken before placement, so a student joins the House that suits how they learn and what they care about.
One challenge a termEach House takes on a single challenge each term, which is enough to build something together without crowding the timetable.

Beyond the timetable

Six clubs, all student led

Our after-school clubs run online and are led by students themselves, with a success coach supporting each one. Any IWS learner can join, wherever they are.

  • Graphics Design ClubLed by Maksim B.
  • Debate ClubLed by Serenity M.
  • Book ClubLed by Łucja T.
  • Science ClubLed by Xenia A.
  • Basic Chinese ClubLed by Aye Chan K.
  • Arts & Crafts ClubLed by Ebrar Y.

Clubs are proposed and run by students. If your child wants to start one, their success coach will help them set it up.

Our Community

A Warm Welcome From Day One

New students are welcomed by their House, their classmates and their teachers from the very first day. They are guided through school life, included in clubs and events, and reminded that learning is an adventure worth sharing.
