As a start-up school, everyone on the ISA faculty helps in many areas of the school; we all want to provide the best educational experience for our families. ISA is looking for eduators that want to live in this part of Africa, people that desire to help the school grow, and teachers that truly want to teach the future leaders of the emerging business environment of east Africa.
