The International Academy of Greenwich (IAG) is a growing school. We opened with 95 Year 7 students in September 2016 and will open a Sixth Form when our new building is ready in September 2020. IAG is a candidate school for the Middle Years Programme. This school is pursuing authorisation as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy: a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education which  IAG believes is important for our students.

IAG’s vision is to offer excellent education which will harness and build on the linguistic and cultural diversity in Greenwich and nearby Boroughs. We will offer: a truly broad and balanced curriculum; high academic standards; strong linguistic and communication skills; access to top universities in the UK and abroad; the passport to an international job market; Active Citizenship skills and respect for other cultures; and enhanced self-confidence.
