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.
We are also proud to be a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. This prestigious program is renowned for its commitment to high-quality, challenging, and international education, aligning with our mission to foster critical thinking, global awareness, and lifelong learning in our students. Our pursuit of IB World School authorization reflects our dedication to offering the best educational pathways for your child's future.
* Only schools authorised by the IB Organisation can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorisation will be granted.
Join us at ISM International School, where your child's potential is nurtured in a safe, inclusive, and dynamic learning environment. We are committed to providing an education that empowers students to achieve academic excellence, embrace cultural diversity, and develop the skills needed to succeed in an ever-changing world.
