The ISC Parent Association´s objective is to contribute to building a stronger collective identity for all members of the ISC community. Our aim is to encourage and increase parents´ contributions to school activities and represent interest of parents in educational work, resulting in the enhancement of cooperation between parents and ISC and ultimately the experience for our children´s school life.
The ISC Parent Association, led by the six elected members of the Parent Council, run regular meetings and collaborate with ISC staff and students to organize various school events throughout the year as well as address important educational issues and raise questions on behalf of the parent community. Furthermore, they organize welcome receptions for new parents, such as coffee mornings. The Parent Council is strongly supported by the ISC class parent representatives, who actively seek ways to support the community and connection within their individual child´s classroom.
