LIS Alumni Thrive in the World

“I arrived in Angola at the beginning of 2007, and in August, I joined LIS and I graduated in 2017. Being part of this amazing school was one of the most impactful experiences for me. LIS is more than just a place to study—it’s a diverse, welcoming, and supportive community that helped shape me both academically and personally. The education I received didn’t just prepare me for university and my career; it also taught me the importance of curiosity, resilience, and being a global citizen. At LIS, I was surrounded by a culture that encouraged growth, creativity, and strong connections, with teachers and classmates who truly made a difference. The friendships and memories I made there will last a lifetime, and the sense of belonging LIS creates stays with you long after you’ve moved on. It’s not just a school—it’s a second home that continues to inspire and shape everyone who’s been lucky enough to be part of it.”

“LIS was more than just a school—it was a place that inspired me to dream beyond limits. Surrounded by a diverse and supportive community, I discovered my passion for making an impact through creativity and purpose. The incredible teachers and unique environment led me to pursue culinary arts in France, where I’m working towards my goals. LIS truly is the kind of school that shapes futures and changes lives.”

“I had the pleasure of joining the LIS community in 2009, entering Year 8, and graduating in 2015. Looking back on the experience, I am very grateful. It truly was a privilege. Beyond the high standards demanded by the IB, which shaped me, the culture of LIS instilled in me a curiosity for learning in all its forms and a deep appreciation and respect for diversity.
From the great teachers I had the privilege of learning from, to the theatre productions I performed in, the sports teams I was part of, the friendships I built, and all the lessons I learned along the way —growing up at LIS was instrumental. Nothing is perfect, but education at LIS was as close as it gets.”

“I started studying in LIS in 2005 when I joined Prep 4 and finished my journey in 2019 when I graduated and became an alumni of LIS. To any student who just entered university life or those who are still doing the IB remember how it taught you or is teaching you to preserver through thick and thin and to keep your head high no matter what until the end as it is through perseverance and not giving up that got me through the loneliness and difficulties of my first year.”

“My time at LIS has shaped me into the person I am today. The great teachers I had have taught me skills and values that I still use today, and the friends I made gave me memories that I will treasure forever.”

“I really enjoyed studying at LIS because it is a unique school in its effort to promote a true sense of community and cultural diversity. I met sensational people, teachers and students from the four corners of the world, and I will always have good memories of them for life. LIS is, for all international students, their home away from home.”
