The International School Yangon (formerly known as International School Rangoon) will be celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2025. ISY is proud of the fact that it has impacted the lives of thousands of students over the years.
Today, ISY takes pride in being a top-tier benchmark school in Myanmar, with more than 466 students from 28 countries in attendance. ISY maintains a nationality cap such that no more than 30% of each grade can be of one nationality. The largest nationality groups at ISY for the 2024-25 school year are Myanmar, United States, South Korea, India, and Japan. We offer a program based on an American core curriculum with an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. ISY is a private, nonprofit, and nondenominational school.
Ninety-eight percent of ISY graduates move on to colleges and universities of their choice around the world. ISY is committed to a program that reflects both the school community's high expectations for academic rigor and the needs of the multinational student body. There is a deep commitment to its mission, which encourages all students to be a force for positive change in their communities and the world.
The International School Yangon is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and is a member of the East Asian Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS). ISY is committed to excellence, ensuring that all students achieve a high level of accomplishment using English as the medium of instruction.
The International School Yangon (ISY) is committed to the protection of all children and young people from harm. ISY has a zero-tolerance policy towards child abuse and neglect. Applicants undergo stringent screening and selection processes before being allowed to work with our students.
The International School Yangon is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in education and employment.
