**Our School is part of the Inspired Education Group**
Founded in 1978, SIS is a leading international, co-educational day and boarding school. We are an all-through IB school offering the PYP, MYP and Diploma programmes. We are an inclusive community offering English language and special educational needs support throughout the school where required. Sotogrande International School launched its new San Roque Campus in September 2013. A beautiful second campus that acts as a home for the school's boarding students. This new addition to the school is a result of increased demand for boarding places from around the world.
SIS is fully accredited by CIS and NEASC. Our programme is fully convalidated by the Spanish Ministry of Education, allowing our IB diploma graduates direct access to Spanish universities as well as those in the UK and the USA. This unique combination provides independent, external assurance of the quality of education at SIS. In addition, the school's own NGO operates from the main campus and offers all our students the opportunities for active leadership and service learning, both in the local community and in the wider world.
Sotogrande International School is a community of learners that has at its core the SIS Values. These values shape our behaviour, inform our decision-making and provide a focus for all our actions. Members of our community are encouraged to open their hearts and minds to the joy of learning, to discover their strengths, identify their passions and develop outstanding learning skills. Our school philosophy is to open minds, create magic and use education as a force for good in the world. Our school mission is to enable and empower children to be the best they can be.
