In Secondary Years, learners participate in ISN's Personal Development Programme, supported by coaching and the SBW Lernens approach together with Creativa. ISN is an official Cambridge examination centre for Cambridge Primary, IGCSE and A Levels.

Small class sizes and individualisation of learning are part of ISN's approach.

There is a pathway to university entry.

The Personal Development Programme supports learners' talents with coaching. SBW Future Skills focuses on six competencies: Passion, Resilience, Global Identity, Sustainability, Acting Outside the Box and Entrepreneurship.

The school recognises the importance of social and emotional development as part of personal growth. The school values the talents and passions of each learner equally and supports them to pursue what they dream. ISN adopts a holistic approach that recognises academic, social and emotional development as crucial to personal development.

ISN focuses on differentiated learning and acknowledges that some learners may require further academic, emotional or social support. Small class sizes and an individualised approach help tailor education to each learner.

Language of instruction is English. German language support is available for native and non-native German speakers, and non-native English speakers have an English as a Second Language (ESL) programme within Primary Years.
