International School Ghent (ISG) is a private, non-profit international school serving ages 2 to 16. The curriculum combines IPC in the Primary years and the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) in the ISG+ Secondary, with Diploma Programme planned. Pre-Primary is split into Lower and Upper Pre-Primary (2.5–4 and 4–5.5 years), using IPC-based topics to develop language, numeracy, craft, and expressive arts. In Primary, learners explore cross-curricular IPC themes with specialist Dutch, sport, swimming, and music teachers, plus a learning support programme; there is no English-language entry test, and students with limited English receive targeted support. In Secondary, ISG+ began in 2023 with MYP Years 2–4 (Years 7–9), progressing to full MYP in 2026 (Year 10, MYP Year 5). The campus is next to Ghent University and shares facilities in a Secondary building. A sports hall, music and language rooms, an auditorium, and outdoor space support a program, with Ghent University laboratories.
