Founded in 1994, the International School of Monaco (ISM) is an independent, co-educational, not-for-profit day school in Monaco located in the Larvotto area of Monaco at 43 Avenue Princesse Grace. ISM welcomes over 820 students aged 3 to 18 years old, drawn from over 60 nationalities.

Driven by its vision of international education with distinction, ISM's mission is to provide an outstanding education for students so that they are happy, confident, independent, multilingual and responsible global citizens. The school's values emphasise integrity, learning, caring and respect, with strong emphasis placed on excellence, wellbeing and multilingualism as well as international mindedness and digital citizenship. In August 2020 the school signed a historic collaboration with King's College School, Wimbledon, as part of the school's aim to be among the best in Europe.

ISM offers a bilingual education in English and French for students in the Primary School (Kindergarten to Year 6). In the Secondary School (Year 7 to Year 13), the curriculum is taught in English, leading to internationally-recognised academic qualifications.

ISM is an all-through IB World Continuum School, delivering all four International Baccalaureate programmes: the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), IB Diploma Programme (DP) and IB Career-related Programme (CP). ISM also offers the Extended IB CP pathway, which allows high-performing student-athletes to complete the IB CP over a 3-year period instead of a 2-year period as part of ISM's accreditation as an Athlete Friendly Education Centre (AFEC) from the World Academy of Sport.

Languages are an important part of the curriculum, with Spanish, Italian, Russian and German, in addition to French, on offer. Highly qualified teachers and support staff are recruited from around the world.

ISM provides an extensive programme of enrichment including sports, Model United Nations, an annual Arts Festival, the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award plus ABRSM and LAMDA music and drama qualifications. The school's unique location on the Côte d'Azur enables access to world-class museums and places of interest.

Outreach is an important element of school life, and students participate in a wide range of giving projects throughout the year via the school's philanthropy clubs, Student Senate initiatives, and the PTA, in partnership with local charities and environmental associations.

Pastoral care is a major priority for the school; an extensive PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) programme is delivered by teachers who receive regular training in child safeguarding, and a full-time Head of Wellbeing is supported by a wellbeing team including a school counsellor and psychologist.

ISM students are well-rounded, academically successful individuals who are admitted to top universities around the world, including in recent years the University of Oxford, University of St Andrews, Imperial College, University College London and London School of Economics in the UK and Harvard University, Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania in the USA, amongst many other prestigious institutions.
