Mission Statement
SSIS is a college preparatory school committed to the intellectual and personal development of each student in preparation for a purposeful life as a global citizen.
When our students matriculate into their best-fit universities, they seek more than just a career, looking for ways to serve the greater good.
Our Core Values are the mark of an SSIS graduate. Central to our curriculum, they ensure students grow into open-minded, upstanding citizens who are ready to change the world.
Learn more about our Core Values in the videos below.
