High School Competitive Sports

Competitive sports are an important part of life at ISZL, supporting students’ social, emotional and physical development during their High School years. Through training and competition, students build confidence, learn to work as a team, and grow as individuals. Our sports programme is designed to complement their academic journey, offering opportunities to challenge themselves, connect with others, and take pride in embracing the ISZL Eagle spirit.

Our Philosophy

We believe that sport is a powerful part of a student’s learning journey. It’s where teamwork is built, character is shaped, and students learn what it means to win with humility and lose with grace.

Through shared effort and commitment, students develop respect for one another and an understanding of fair play that stays with them long after the competition ends. These are the lessons that extend well beyond the game, and are lessons that help shape the kind of people our students become.

  • To provide high-quality coaching with experienced ISZL staff
  • To set high standards and expectations for athletic development
