SPORTS & ATHLETICS
Spanning from the Primary School through the High School, sports are an intrinsic part of the overall curriculum at the International School of Stavanger (ISS).
The ISS Athletic Department is committed to providing students with opportunities to participate in and enjoy sports, as well as experience the benefits of teamwork, competition and self-discipline.

Coaches and Players
The coaching staff, mostly consisting of qualified ISS employees, strives to be positive role models for their teams. They are focused on competing well and winning, but, more importantly, developing character and ensuring a fun experience for all. Our athletic programme is proud of the many ISS athletes who – win or lose – regularly demonstrate fair play and sportsmanship in their athletic endeavors.
Philosophy
Participation and inclusion are fundamental aspects of the ISS Athletic Department. ISS coordinates schedules closely so students can participate in other co-curricular activities across the school.
