In September 2003, Ibadan International School (IIS) was established by the Zard Foundation to fulfill the educational needs of both the local and expatriate communities in Ibadan. It started with 23 students and now has over 400 students from more than 15 nationalities, with over 90 staff members. IIS offers an international curriculum: the Pre-school and Junior School follow the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and it is an IB World School; in the Senior School, students follow the IGCSE curriculum developed by the University of Cambridge Examinations Board.

It is a co-educational day school serving children from age 6 months (Creche) to age 15 (Year 4).
