Principal’s Message

December 2023

I have been the Principal here at ISSL now for about 6 weeks and it is clear to me that I have arrived in a school where the hard-working teachers care about their students.

Our Christmas Holidays start on Friday and we return to classes on January the 3rd 2024.  Have a wonderful Holiday.

Our big news today is that in terms of curriculum for your students, ISSL’s choice of Canadian Curriculum has been proven by the most recent PISA results to be sound.

According to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Canada currently ranks “Number One” (#1) in the English speaking world and over all #8 in the world for the Mathematics, Science and Reading combined results,  maintaining Canada as a world leader in education. (This is based on an average score of Maths, Science and Reading taken by a sample of 15 year old students in 81 countries worldwide).  Results reported Dec. 5, 2023 for the 2022 Assessment.

Have a wonderful Day,
Ms Beth Burns
