B.E.L.L designs and provides five core programs that support student learning at The ISF Academy. Through Co-Curricular Activities (CCA), Experiential Learning Program (ELP), Sports Teams, and Summer School, students develop personalities, enrich learning skills and acquire proficiency beyond the classroom curriculum.
The provision of a varied and robust Co-Curricular Program for our students is important to develop pride, interest and appreciation of the ISF Academy. Structured around The ISF Academy’s Eight Virtues + One, the CCA Program offers opportunities for students to develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially alongside the general curriculum. Students learn to participate in activities to develop interests in a familiar, structured and secure environment.
Co-Curricular Activities are an integral part of Academy life, framed around the Eight Virtues + One, the activities are used as a means of instilling wholesome attitudes, good human relationships, knowledge and skills in Academy students. The ISF Academy encourages students to be a part of the many and varied co-curricular opportunities that are provided for them. This opportunity is extended to all students providing they meet different requirements as outlined in the course information.
The ISF Academy Experiential Learning Program (ELP) offers a range of immersive experiences that align with our core values and the IB mission. Through exploration of the physical environment, cultural immersion, and community service projects abroad, students broaden their understanding as global citizens.
Sports have become a cornerstone of school life at ISF. Representing the school is seen as a privilege and an honor. As a result of the established sporting provision at the school, we are heavily involved in a wide range of sporting federations, which affords extensive opportunities for our student-athletes.

Experiential Learning is a widely recognized and effective educational approach that engages students through hands-on experiences. Each learner interprets their experiences in their own unique way, drawing from their backgrounds, learning styles, and previous educational experiences. This learner-centered approach allows for individualized learning.
In ELP, students are placed in unfamiliar and challenging situations that require adaptability, problem-solving, and risk-taking. By engaging with real-world problems and authentic settings, students gain new knowledge and skills that can be applied to other situations. These experiences provide a contrast to their everyday lives and create opportunities for reflection and growth.
ELP takes students beyond the confines of the classroom and traditional learning materials. It immerses them in the real world, fostering adaptation, resilience, and a deeper learning response. It offers a unique and valuable learning experience that complements the mainstream education setting.
