We pride ourselves on our team of exceptional international faculty who bring to Stamford a wealth of experience and expertise, a passion for knowledge and innovation, and professional dedication that motivates them to continue to grow and develop as lifelong learners.

All of our teachers are experts in their instructional area and, through the inquiry-based teaching approach, emphasize active, collaborative learning to encourage students to form connections across disciplines. Our experienced IB expert faculty will be guiding our high school students to achieve results beyond their expectations. Our passionate specialist teachers in language, the arts and physical education create an inspiring program that enhances our broad and balanced curriculum. To fully support student well-being, we have on-site full-time nurses, counselors, and a dedicated support team to meet our students’ needs.
