At the International Summer School of Scotland we believe that each student deserves to discover their potential and acquire the skills, confidence and motivation to make things happen and bring about change.


Young people Young people An exciting series of interactive workshops, energetic summer school activities and fun-filled challenges specifically designed to inspire and enable each and every student to uncover their unique abilities, develop greater confidence and master strategies for success in the classroom and beyond.

Our Youth Leadership summer school course gives students the opportunity to discover their own potential by developing interpersonal and leadership skills, increasing their self-confidence and acquiring the motivation and ability to bring about change.
Rather than focusing on any specific school curriculum, this summer school program offers hands-on learning enabling all students, regardless of background, experience or ability level, to get ahead.

We want to help students eliminate school stress, while simultaneously showing them ways to express themselves, pursue goals, solve problems, resolve conflicts and bring about positive change.

The independence he was afforded in a secure environment was a boost to his self-development. The interest ISSOS staff took in the students as individuals was evident when he relayed his experiences.
