Two campuses, more than 50 nationalities, rigorous academics, a variety of performing and visual arts opportunities, and a strong athletics program, are just a few of many attributes that provide students at Frankfurt International School with A World of Opportunities.
The International School of Management (ISM) is a specialized, accredited business school based in Paris, France, with programs on five different continents.
We give students the global perspective they need to thrive as modern business leaders. We do this by keeping our classes small, select and culturally diverse, and by offering programs in major commercial hubs around the world.
Our IMBA develops the global business leaders of tomorrow, while our DBA is made for experienced executives seeking to tackle the challenges of senior leadership on an international level. For proven senior practitioners, our PhD hones the teaching and research skills needed to give back to the business community and shape the next generation of leaders.
Built on global values
Our founder Jack Forget opened ISM to challenge the traditional business school model.
His vision was for an outward-looking school that champions innovation and new ways of teaching. It would be a truly global institution, with partnerships in emerging markets around the world. Students from all continents would learn from professors of the highest grade, and build a valuable professional network while they study.
The ISM of today retains the strength and agility of this founding philosophy. Still headquartered in Paris, we now have partner institutions in New York, Shanghai, New Delhi, São Paulo and Cape Town. We continue to give students the niche skills, global perspective and lifetime contacts they need to flourish as leaders.
Grounded in real-world practice
Our students are ambitious. They’re driven to reach the top. So while a solid base of theoretical knowledge is important, actionable insight and experience is essential.
We select our professors for both their teaching excellence and their on-the-ground business acumen. When they’re not at ISM, they can be found leading companies, teaching at top business schools around the world, and influencing the direction of international business practice.
Our small, interactive classes enable close-up access to our professors’ expertise. And because our students are experienced professionals in their own right, they have the chance to share original insight and inform what happens in the classroom.
Made for working executives
ISM students are high-level executives with demanding schedules. Their time is a precious resource, and they need their studies to fit around their career and lifestyle.
This need for flexibility inspires everything we offer. Students can combine face-to-face courses in Paris with e-learning, and attend overseas programs at one of our five partner institutions around the world.
We also let students customize their studies and focus on what matters most to their career. Depending which degree they choose, they can follow a generalist pathway in international business management, or specialize in finance, entrepreneurship and innovation, or higher education.
A lasting professional network
For our students, the benefits of studying at ISM continue far beyond graduation day.
The classmates and professors they meet during their time at the school form a lifetime professional network, with ideas, support and opportunities that transcend business sectors and geographical boundaries.
The International School of Hamburg (ISH) was Germany’s very first international school. For more than half a century it delivers excellent international education.
We offer the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) - two globally recognized curricular models that foster critical thinking, creativity and international-mindedness as well as high academic standards.
We combine the IPC (age 3-10), the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) (age 11-16), and the IB Diploma Program (DP) (age 17-19) to deliver a seamless flow from kindergarten right through to university entry qualification. By making use of the worldwide network of several thousand IPC and IB schools, internationally mobile parents can avoid the many challenges associated with switching to and between national education systems.
Our 760 students currently represent more than 50 nationalities. We recruit highly qualified, experienced teachers and administrators from all over the world to create a vibrant, nurturing, student-centered learning experience. Together our students, their parents and our staff form a truly unique community – a mosaic of nations.
Our language of instruction is English, yet speakers of all languages benefit from our English as an Additional Language (EAL) program. We also provide opportunities for students to study their mother tongue language during the curricular day or after school.
Recognizing our responsibility to prepare our students for global citizenship, our mission is to provide them with an international education which seeks to develop their full potential and to foster understanding, respect for others, freedom of thought and expression, enjoyment of learning and personal responsibility.
We are proud that our graduates have been able to connect their educational experience to an ever-changing world of employment, advanced study at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, the arts or humanitarian service.
