Once ISH. Always ISH. See how ISH Alumni make their mark.

Our alumni are living proof of where curiosity, courage and an IB education can lead. From entrepreneurs and scientists to creatives, engineers and changemakers. Their stories inspire today’s students and show what can happen when young people spread their wings.

Students may leave our classrooms, but they never really leave our community. At ISH, we stay curious about the journeys our students take long after graduation. Where life takes them. What they discover. What they create. And the impact they make in the world.

From these hallways to the world

Every alumnus started in the same place. Walking these hallways. Sitting in classrooms. Making friends. Discovering strengths… Today, our alumni live and work across the world in fascinating places and meaningful roles. They bring ideas to life, contribute to communities and make a difference in ways big and small. For our students, these stories make their future feel real. Suddenly possibilities become visible. Suddenly they can think: “Maybe that could be me too.”

Back to school. With stories that inspire.

At ISH, alumni remain part of everyday school life. They regularly return to share their experiences, support projects and connect with student clubs and activities. Some join our Career Sessions. Others step into our classrooms with real stories and fresh perspectives from the world beyond ISH… And something special happens every time. Students sit a little closer. Ask a few more questions. Eyes begin to sparkle. Because hearing real stories from people who once sat exactly where they sit now brings their future a little closer.

Welcome back to the nest. Always.

No matter where life takes our alumni, ISH will always feel like home. And many connections continue to grow long after graduation. Because warm connections have a way of helping people move forward. For instance, during our 40-year reunion, familiar faces filled the school once again. Stories were shared, friendships picked up where they left off and hours disappeared in what felt like minutes. Because some connections simply never leave.
