It is with great gratitude and excitement that I welcome you to the International School of Bucharest as I begin my role as Head of School.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my colleague, Mr Serdar Sakman, for his dedicated leadership and the lasting foundations he has established for our school community. His commitment and service have played an important role in ISB’s continued growth and success. I am honoured to continue this journey alongside our exceptional school community.

At ISB, we are united by a shared purpose: helping young people become knowledgeable, caring, principled, and prepared to make a positive difference in the world. Guided by our HERO values—Honesty, Empathy, Respect, and Open-Mindedness—we strive to provide an education that nurtures both academic excellence and personal growth.

In today’s interconnected world, our goal is to develop confident, compassionate, and responsible global citizens who think critically, embrace diverse perspectives, and use their talents to benefit others. We believe every student has unique potential, and we are committed to helping each one thrive.

I look forward to working closely with our students, parents, staff, alumni, and the wider community as we continue to strengthen ISB through collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Thank you for your trust and support. Together, let us continue to learn, grow, and succeed, inspired by the potential of every child.

Warm regards,

Yusuf Suha Orhan
