As an international school, ISE has a strong desire to provide support for members of the educational community. Therefore we offer a special tuition rate for children of teachers. To qualify for this rate, at least one parent (or legal guardian) must be currently employed full-time as a certificated/licensed teacher in a general education school (üldhariduskool) licensed by the Estonian Ministry of Education – grades 1-12. (There is a limit of 2 children per family.) This rate is equal to 1% of the regular tuition rate. No registration fee and no capital development fee are assessed for these students. For more information, please click here, or contact the Admissions Office at office@ise.edu.ee.

Life-time Student Scholarship: The International School of Estonia’s Board of Governors is proud to announce the creation of a new scholarship award – The Life-time Student Scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded to students who are entering the ISE IB Diploma Program, who have attended ISE for at least 10 years, and who are members of the ISE Honor Society. The scholarship will be for two years (grades 11 and 12) and will be for up to 90% of tuition. The Scholarship Committee is also proud to announce that the first Life-time Student Scholarship will be awarded to Ashwath Venkatsubramanian. Ash has been at ISE since 1999. He has been an ISE Honor Society member every year since its inception. We are proud to have Ash as a member of our IB Diploma Program.

International Futures Scholarship: The International School of Estonia is proud to offer the International Futures Scholarship. This is a merit-based, not needs-based, scholarship. To be eligible a student must have been enrolled for the past three years in a school licensed by the Estonian Ministry of Education – üldhariduskool (general education school – grades 1-12) and offering the Estonian National Curriculum. To apply all students must complete ISE’s normal admissions procedures including an admissions assessment. All eligible students will receive a 50% reduction of the registration fee, capital assessment fee and tuition. This reduced rate will continue as long as the student maintains high academic standing at ISE. The number of scholarships is limited.
