I.S.M International School Of Martyrs

Welcome to ISM International School, the largest and most prestigious international school in Libya, proudly serving the educational needs of families since 1954. As the oldest international school in North Africa, ISM has a rich history of excellence, originally founded to educate the children of oil executives and diplomats. Today, we continue to provide a world-class education, nurturing our students to become the leaders of tomorrow.

At ISM International School, your child will experience a unique, globally-recognized education. We are the only school outside of Ireland accredited by the State Examinations Commission, offering our students the exceptional opportunity to earn the Irish Leaving Certificate at the end of Grade 12. Our dual accreditation by the Libyan Ministry of Education ensures that our students are well-prepared for higher education, both locally and internationally.

The International School of Martyrs is a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate. The school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that ISM believes is important for our students. Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org.
