Founded in September 1995, the International School of Estonia (ISE) comprises two schools: the International Preschool of Estonia and the International School of Estonia. It is owned and operated by MTÜ IEAE (International Educational Association of Estonia), a non-profit organization formed by the parents of ISE students. ISE is recognized by the Estonian Ministry of Education and is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). As Estonia's first IB World School, ISE offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP) and was initially accredited in 2007. The Supervisory School Board is elected by the parents and governs the school, approving the budget and the appointment of the Director.
ISE actively cultivates meaningful connections with the local Estonian community through a diverse range of partnerships and initiatives. These include regular visits to local theatres, museums, nature parks, and cultural sites, and a strong partnership with the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and internship offerings with local companies like Bolt. Collaborations extend to Tallinn University, working with Estonian teachers and teachers-in-training, and opportunities for DP Design and Visual Art students with the Baltic Film and Media School. The school also engages with multiple embassies in Tallinn and invites guest speakers from them on a regular basis.
Welcome to the ISE PTA. The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is the gateway to building connections, enriching school life, and creating lasting memories for our children and community. The PTA focuses on making ISE a welcoming place where everyone feels a sense of belonging, organizing community events, and celebrating the diversity of our school. It also acts as a vital link between parents and the school, representing the parents' voice to strengthen communication and collaboration within the community. Joining the PTA provides opportunities to enrich your child's school experience, be a voice for parents, connect with teachers and staff, build friendships within our international community, share your perspective, and help create a stronger school environment. The PTA is driven by a core group of engaged parents, supported by class representatives; it meets regularly to plan activities and discuss how to support the school, and it hosts informal social gatherings to strengthen connections.
