Colegio Internacional de San Salvador

Welcome to the International School of San Salvador.

During a child’s time with us, we undertake to ensure that they achieve their maximum potential whether it is in the academic, cultural, sporting or social arena. At CISS we believe every child has his/her own individual strengths. We aim to capitalize, recognize and extend children’s strengths whilst also focusing upon areas identified as in need of further development. In other words, we acknowledge the ‘uniqueness’ of all children.

Through this approach our children will become lifelong learners in a changing world.  Building positive and worthwhile partnerships and recognizing the ‘uniqueness’ of children will lead to ‘more’ enhanced educational outcomes for our students.

The International School of San Salvador was founded in 1979 by Chester and Nora Stemp, the present proprietors. The school offers a Kinder-12th grade program of studies modeled on the U.S. educational system and incorporates the requirements of the Salvadoran Ministry of Education. Located in an urban residential area, this small private school meets the needs of students of various nationalities, cultures, and linguistic backgrounds.
