Suva - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the availability of international schools? What has been your general experience with them, if any?
ISS is the only accredited school in Suva. If you are expecting a rigorous school with lots of homework, forget it. Kids love the school as it's laid back, and it's not uncommon to see kids barefoot. We had some concerns about ISS (there tends to be a good amount of teacher turn over) but when we got to our current post both kids tested very night. We're not sure if it's the teachers or we have smart kids. One thing to consider with ISS is it is good for elementary and middle school. The consensus is high school gets very iffy, so keep that in mind if you will have high school-aged kids. - Oct 2018
There is only the International School of Suva here, and we are quite happy with it. As a former teacher in the States, transitioning to this school was my biggest concern. The school community (kids & parents) are very welcoming. Our children are very happy, they are getting a good education, and they are getting a wonderful daily dose of culture as the school is comprised of over 40 different nations. - Apr 2016
