Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to the International School of Western Australia.

At ISWA, we offer something truly unique: a globally recognised, internationally accredited education delivered right here in Perth.

Whether you’re a local family seeking a future-focused, holistic education or an international family looking for a seamless transition, ISWA provides a world-class learning experience in a warm, inclusive community.

As a co-educational, non-denominational school, we are proud to welcome students from over 60 nationalities. This cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths: it shapes our classrooms, broadens perspectives, and prepares our students to thrive in a globally connected world. We see difference as an asset that enriches learning and builds empathy, understanding and citizenship.

Our students benefit from the internationally recognised IB curriculum that fosters academic excellence, critical thinking and creativity. They graduate with the skills, confidence, and qualifications to pursue their passions at leading universities and colleges, both here in Australia and around the world.

Education at ISWA extends well beyond academics, with our strong commitment to student wellbeing and personal growth. Our campus features award-winning outdoor learning spaces designed to inspire exploration and imagination. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests through a wide range of co-curricular activities, leadership opportunities and service-learning programs that connect them to the wider community. As part of a lively international school network, our students have access to a range of travel opportunities, including cultural and language immersion trips, international sporting competitions and student exchange programs. These experiences foster independence, intercultural awareness and lifelong friendships. Whether exploring a new country, representing ISWA on the court or staying with a host family abroad, our students gain the confidence and perspective to thrive in a connected world.

At the heart of our school is a skilled and dedicated team of educators, a dynamic and engaged Parent Association, and a forward-thinking Board of Trustees, all working together to ensure every student is known, supported, and challenged to be their best.

Whether you’re new to Perth or have lived here your whole life, I invite you to visit our campus and experience ISWA for yourself. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
