The International Cambridge program is at the heart of what we do.

Participation in Debate hones critical thinking and public speaking skills while encouraging students to engage in current events and articulate their viewpoints with confidence.
Our Sports programs foster teamwork, discipline, and a healthy lifestyle, allowing learners to discover their athletic abilities while building camaraderie with peers.
The Spelling Bee competition challenges students to enhance their language skills and boosts their confidence in communication.
We believe that effort should be rewarded, whether it’s for academic or co-curricular participation. That’s why we give awards ranging from verbal acknowledgment to medals, accolades, trophies, and scholarships.
At SSIS-U, we take great pride in maintaining a clean and hygienic study environment that fosters both learning and wellness. Our modern facilities adhere to the highest standards of sanitation, ensuring that our students can focus on their studies without concern for their health or safety.

As a student at SSIS-U, I have had an incredible experience that has shaped my education and personal growth. When I stepped through the school gates, I thought they would treat me differently because of our differences in culture and tradition, but everyone was very welcoming, and they accepted me for who I am. One of the things I appreciate about the school is its vibrant community. The teachers are knowledgeable, and they also genuinely care about our well-being.
They ensure that we understand our subjects and encourage us to pursue our passions. Their dedication inspires me to work hard and strive for excellence.
