COMMUNITY EVENTS
Throughout the school year, the ISD community enjoys a variety of events, most of which have been part of the ISD heritage for many years. They are planned and produced by students, staff, and many parent volunteers, and they all reflect the rich diversity and multiculturalism of the ISD community.
The International FEST is our largest community gathering, and has been an important ISD tradition since 1980.
The Elementary School campus is converted into a tented village with over twenty countries sharing their culture, gastronomy, tourism attractions, and plenty of fun activities. There is a full programme including stage performances, children's activities, and an international flag parade featuring over 100 students. The Fest is eagerly anticipated by students, staff, parents, alumni, and neighbors from the surrounding community. Nearly 2000 visitors come to ISD to celebrate the rich diversity of cultures from which we come, while enjoying a uniquely international melting pot of flavours, sights and sounds.

World Citizenship Night
This event benefits the many service projects supported by ISD students, and is widely referred to as our “variety show of the year”. Students, faculty, and staff sing, play instruments, dance, and share their diverse talents, while guests enjoy foods from around the world and gain awareness of the important projects ISD students are supporting.
