ISB Reopening Plan

 

The safety of our students, staff and community is our top priority and to this end ISB has safely reopened campus.

 

Our Director of Risk Management, in conjunction with our Crisis Management Team, has implemented a comprehensive and detailed action plan for the safe reopening of campus. This plan has been reviewed by safety consultants at Control Risks (Singapore) and Clearpath Emergency Planning Management (USA), as well as the US Embassy’s RSO office.

 

As we open the campus to learning, we continue to be guided by two principles:

 

  1. The health and safety of students, staff and our community are paramount, and
  2. The educational and social emotional needs of students are best provided in a face to face environment on campus.

Please read and review the procedures in each section below.

All procedures below were focused on campus opening September 29th, based on current regulations and government recommendations.
