All students will be part of a group

[PAUSE 10 SECONDS]

Groups at ISSOS are your smaller family within the wider ISSOS Family. When you arrive you will meet your counselor and will be placed in a group based on age and gender, so you will always be with other girls or boys of the same age as you. There are normally between 8 to 15 students in one group and you will all stay in the same area of halls as your group counselor. As the head of your group, your counselor is there to help you with anything you might need, help your group to bond together and generally act as a big brother/sister figure for you throughout the programme.

Classes, clans and evening activities give you plenty of chances to mix with other students at ISSOS, but your smaller groups and your counselor will always be there for support. As with everything at ISSOS, our Scottish heritage comes into the groups too and they are all named after Scottish islands and rivers.
