On Wednesday 9 October 2024, the Board of Governors of the International School of Luxembourg (ISL) announced the appointment of Iain Fish as the new School Director, effective 1 August 2025.

Currently serving as the Upper School Principal at ISL, Iain Fish brings with him 28 years of experience in education, including over 22 years in international schools and eighteen years in senior leadership roles.

"I've had the privilege of working in and leading some incredible schools in wonderful locations, and I can say without hesitation that my time here at ISL has been the most rewarding," Iain said.

"This is a pivotal moment for ISL, as we stand on the cusp of becoming an International Baccalaureate Continuum School. I am thrilled that we have embarked on this journey, and I am proud to contribute to making this school goal a reality," he added. "As an educator, I am deeply committed to nurturing trust, collaboration and inclusivity within our community. Ensuring that all students, staff and community members feel safe, valued, included and respected is central to ISL's mission, and I believe this work will only grow in importance as we become an even more open, reflective and ambitious school."

Before joining ISL, Iain Fish held various leadership positions, including Director / Head of School at the European International School HCMC in Vietnam. Additionally, he served as the Head of Secondary at the German European School Singapore and the Vice Principal and Head of European Section at the same institution.

Commenting on the appointment, Brian Blanchard, Chair of the ISL Board and Search Committee, said: "Iain's extensive experience and deep understanding of ISL will ensure a smooth transition while driving the school’s continued transformation into an IB Continuum School. We are also deeply grateful to Dr David J. Condon for his exceptional leadership and dedication over the past years in shaping ISL’s Vision and its implementation plan."

Dr Condon, who took over as ISL Director in 2021, will retire at the end of the 2024/2025 academic year.
