iSAMS Introduces US Curriculum Support for International Schools, Addressing Growing Global Demand
iSAMS is pleased to announce today the introduction of US curriculum management to its award-winning platform. This enhancement responds to the growing trend of international schools seeking flexibility to offer multi-curriculum options, meeting the diverse needs of students and parents in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
Globally, 1 in 3 international schools now offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum in some capacity, and the adoption of the United States (US) curriculum is on the rise. Building on its extensive experience in supporting schools running both the IB and the UK curriculum, iSAMS is uniquely positioned to help schools adapt to these evolving academic needs.
“The global drive to improve education has transformed how schools deliver learning, with many adopting bi-lingual and multi-curricular teaching and learning models to better meet the expectations of students worldwide,” said Simon Freeman, Managing Director for Education at IRIS. “The addition of the US curriculum management capabilities better equips schools to navigate this shift, ensuring they can seamlessly offer robust, flexible education pathways that align with the needs of their students.”
iSAMS is targeting global expansion into high-growth regions such as Asia and the Middle East, where the demand for the US curriculum is rising. The platform’s scalability and versatility and wide range of partner integrations make it an ideal choice for schools seeking to deliver a world-class education to diverse student populations.
The software offers built-in support for seven languages, including Spanish, Chinese, and German, with support for more languages in development, including scripts read right to left. Additionally, its parent and student portals integrate with advanced translation tools to allow communication in any language, ensuring quality parent-teacher engagement remains accessible to all families, regardless of location or language.
Support for the US curriculum is enabled by iSAMS’ new ability to complete complex Grade Point Average calculations – a standardised method of evaluating academic performance for individual students, and provides easy comparison of achievement across student groups, courses, and institutions – commonly used in the US, parts of Asia, and parts of South America.
