The International School of Monaco (ISM) has marked its 30th anniversary with a spectacular gala at the Salle des Etoiles. With Prince Albert II as guest of honour, the occasion celebrated three decades of the school’s contributions to international education in the Principality and its successful transition into a new state-of-the-art campus.
The gala on Tuesday 10th December brought together members of the ISM community, including parents, alumni, staff, and prominent figures from Monaco, in a reflection on the school’s achievements and future ambitions.
“The ISM 30th Anniversary Gala provided a spectacular culmination of our capital fundraising campaign for our wonderful new school in Testimonio II,” ISM Director Stuart Bryan told Monaco Life.
“It also brought our entire ISM community together in celebration of 30 years of aspiring to achieve our vision of international education with distinction in everything we do. A huge thank you to the Board of Trustees for hosting the event and to our ISM Gala Committee and dedicated Performing Arts staff for leading and planning every aspect of the entire event.”
Student performances, spanning from early years to the graduating Year 13 class, were a highlight of the evening and showcased the school’s emphasis on creativity and cultural engagement.
Auctions, led by renowned auctioneer Simon de Pury and organised under the auspices of Maître Grimaud-Palmero, raised additional funds to support ISM’s continued growth and innovation in education.
The event was co-hosted by Francesca Agostinelli, an Italian entrepreneur and philanthropist, alongside Susie Wolff, Managing Director of the F1 Academy and a Monaco resident.
Their contributions lent a polished and professional tone to the celebration, which also saw widespread praise for the efforts of the ISM Gala Committee and Performing Arts staff in ensuring a successful evening.
Having settled into its new campus earlier this academic year, ISM used the occasion to reflect on its rich history while looking forward to a future of continued distinction in international education.
