ISM International School began in 1956 as the Oil Companies School. Originally set up to educate the children of oil company executives and diplomats posted to Libya, ISM is now the oldest international school in North Africa, and has served the residents of Tripoli and Libya for 65 years. 

Over time, ISM has grown from one school to 4. In total, we provide international education to nearly 1500 students, with nearly 300 teachers and staff members.

ISM teaches a global curriculum with our students sitting the Irish Leaving Certificate and IGCSE/A-level exams in Year 12.


ISM teaches exclusively and entirely through English with the exception of our Arabic and French language classes.

ISM is actively hiring for the 2021-2022 Academic Year - follow us for teaching opportunities!
