WHAT IS ISSE?

The International School-to-School Experience (ISSE) is a unique international program for schools that provides for the exchange of thoughts and ideas through face-to-face contact with children from other countries around the world. It is non-profit, non-political, and non-religious in nature.

The program gives all 10-12 year old school children the opportunity to experience and understand other cultures on a first-hand basis. It is an innovative approach for schools that realize the importance of international experience in modern school education.

“Although we treasure your generous gifts the best gift of all was simply having you all here. Every bit of your music, performances and interactions reflected your warmth, inner peace and humor - your visit has reminded us that the world is a great place after all.”
-Hosting School

“The ISSE program is an adventurous project and a certain amount of trust is necessary for the parents involved - the bridge of communication helped us feel we were sending our child off to ‘friends’ rather than the unknown.”
-Hosting Sending Family

“It brought parents, children and teachers together providing an enriched atmosphere and sharing. Programmed activities give drive, enthusiasm and a school focus for all. The promotion of goodwill and friendship - memories that will survive time.”
-Teacher

“The more we learn to know students from other countries, the more we see that we are all alike.”
-Student
