“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”  Ernest Hemingway

Welcome to the Secondary Section at VISP!

The Secondary Section is composed of 5 classes (Year 7 – Year 11), catering for approximately 100 students.

Our growing team of staff ensure all students succeed in the secondary section. We hope to create an engaging and inclusive learning environment that allows all students to not only leave with IGCSEs but to also be prepared for life after school and to ensure their future studies and professional lives are successful. We have had some fantastic results from students that reflect the hard work of all our students and staff.

The Lower Secondary is designed for the unique needs of children ages eleven to sixteen (Year 7 through Year 9), at a time when they need to develop exceptional learning habits, self-confidence and a thorough understanding of their academic subjects. We aim to encourage students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world, preparing them for success in further study and in life. The Lower Secondary approach empowers students to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas of significance locally, nationally and globally. The result is young people who are creative, critical and reflective thinkers.
