The International School Seychelles was founded in 1969, as a co-educational, non-profit making organization. The school is owned by the International School Association, of which every parent of children in the school is automatically a member. The school is recognized and licensed by the Ministry of Education. Initially the school was established to provide a British-style education for children of expatriates working in the Seychelles. However, since 1994 the school has welcomed Seychellois children. Today these children are in the majority with children from over 30 different nationalities also represented. Over the years the school has grown and expanded from primary age children to an all-through school from ages 3-19 years.
