ANNUAL REPORT 2011–12

2 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF PARIS ANNUAL REPORT 2011–12 www.isparis.edu 3

Dear ISP Community,In accordance with French

law and our own by-laws, I am pleased to provide you with a summary of the fi nancial statements for the fi scal year from September 1st, 2011 to August 31st, 2012. These were approved at the General Assembly on November 26th, 2012. Total revenue amounted to 17 767 337,01€ and 17 861 684,84€ including other revenue. Total operating expenses increased to 16 521 726,54€ with salaries, charges and related taxes amounting to 11 624 888,66€ which represents 70% of total expenses. As expected, social charges and education expenses made up the next largest segment of the operat-ing costs.

Operating income totaled a profi t of 1 339 958,30€. Including a net fi nancial loss of 198 329,68€ and a net exceptional result of 130 300,23€, the net income

reported is 1 267 526,35€. This amount will be allocated as follows: 100 000€ will be allocated to the reserve for scholarship and 1 167 526,35€ to the reserve funds.

Total reserves are now at 5 347 264,06€.

Last year’s fi scal results confi rm ISP’s strong reputa-tion for excellence and its ability to attract large number of students, allowing us to continue our solid fi nancial performance.

The number of enrolled students was signifi cantly higher (712) than predicted (682), resulting in greater revenue than budgeted. The renegotiation of the rent of 13 rue Beethoven, as well as an associated one-time discount, also contributed to an increased net result compared to the previous year.

The 2012-2013 budget is based on enrolment of 688 students.

TREASURER’S REPORT

FINANCIAL REPORT 2011–12

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD

How the money came in...

... how the money was used.

Dear ISP Community, I am pleased to present the Annual Report for 2011-12. This was another successful year for

ISP, with continued progress and solid fi nances. While many things went smoothly, there was still a lot of activity on many fronts!

The Board was busy with continued review and amendments of the bylaws, which was one of the commendations of the CIS report in 2011. In addition, the Board managed to renegotiate the rent of one of our buildings, resulting in some additional funds becoming available during the budget year. Consequently the board decided to grant a one-off reward to all school staff as a special thank you for the hard work during recent accreditation processes.

It was also time to create the New Strategic Plan, and the whole community was involved in the process. The development of the new Strategic Plan was launched at the AGM in December 2011 and started with an online Community-Wide Survey, which obtained a good response rate from all constituencies (parents, staff members, Grade 11 and 12 students and alumni). This was followed by a series of Focus Groups, and a Strategic Planning Task Force planning weekend. Members of this task force included representatives from the Board, staff and parents. Thank you to the many community members who have actively participated in the initial stages of the new Strategic Plan! The resulting ‘strategic goals and plan of action’ are now approved by the Board and published on the ISP website. You will fi nd more information about the Strategic Plan on page 9.

Another new initiative was the creation of an IB Diploma scholarship for two students. These scholarships are given to students demonstrating high academic ability and fi nancial need. Both external and internal candidates were eligible to apply.

We were pleased to welcome three new members to the Board during the year, and new offi cers (Vice Presidents, Treasurer and Secretary) were appointed in June 2012.

I am looking forward to another successful year, as we continue to improve our communications with all constituencies, as well as the effi ciency of ISP’s governance, based on the Board’s self-assessment and ISP community survey.Best regards,

Roberto AgnoliPresident of the ISP Board of Trustees

The 2011-12 academic year was very productive for ISP, as we had evaluation visits for our Primary and Middle Years Programmes, and the school received excellent feedback from both of them. The positive reports from the IB refl ected the huge amount of work that was done by all to develop and further improve

our programmes over the past fi ve years. I would like to thank all staff for their contri-butions to this success.

The whole ISP Community was involved in the develop-ment of a new Strategic Plan for 2012-15. That process galvanized our community of students, parents and staff, who all participated, giving input and ideas that push us further on the path to excel-lence.

Our 2012 gala fundraiser took place in March at the Cercle de l’Union Interalliée and was lots of fun. The party played an important part in

raising the 54.000€ fund-raised overall to enhance our programmes last year. ISP’s popular Holiday Language programme had the highest enrollment so far, welcoming 369 students over four weeks in July.

Our Extended Curriculum Activities programs contin-ued to grow. Alongside the traditional ISP activities, such as Model United Nations in the Secondary School and Mother-tongue lessons in the Primary School, many new activities were introduced. The 2012 Humanitarian Project went to Ghana for the fi rst

time, and constructed and equipped a computer lab for a small village school - quite an achievement! We also part-nered with Dresser Rand for a sustainability project, and you can read more about that on page 8.

We saw 68 students receive their ISP diplomas in May, and 66 received the full IB Diploma in July. ISP’s 94% pass rate is well above the IB world aver-age of 78%. Approximately half of ISP’s IB graduates (53%) received bilingual diplomas, and over 75% of our Higher Level subject results were 5 or above. Our

graduating class was amaz-ing on another front as well; they launched an ISP Grade 12 Legacy Project, and together with a generous matching gift from a parent, this alumni group collected a grand total of 29.200 € for the Fonds de Dotation. Many thanks to the class of 2012!

Very sadly, we had two huge losses to our community last year, with the passing away of our dear colleagues, Primary School Art Teacher, Catherine Matheson Hâche and the Director of External Affairs, Carrie Levenson-Wahl. They both are dearly missed.

Personally, I will have spent 11 wonderful years at ISP by the time I leave next sum-mer, and I am convinced that the great work will continue. I would like to thank our staff, trustees, PTA, students and parents for their sus-tained contributions to the International School of Paris this past year. I know that those who founded ISP in 1964 are very proud of what we have become today. Sincerely,

Audrey Peverelli, Head of School

IN MEMORIAM 2012: IN MEMORIAM 2012:

Carrie Levenson-Wahl came to ISP in September 2001 as a parent. At that stage, the school was in the process of setting up a development offi ce. With Carrie’s extensive experience in fundraising, it was natural for her to become involved with that process. Originally, her family had been planning to stay for only one year. However, they all fell in love with Paris, France and ISP, and decided to prolong their stay.

During the spring of 2002, Carrie became ISP’s fi rst Director of External Affairs. This was not an easy task. Although Europeans give generously to charities, the idea of giving to a private school was completely new to them. In addition, the mobility of our international families meant that the message needed to be constantly reinforced. Carrie launched an intense education and information program and, with her determination and expertise, she was able to spread this idea among the school community, establishing a strong culture of giving at ISP.

Carrie’s ground-breaking experiences in Paris meant that she became one of the few experts on educational fundraising in a European context. She was active in establishing develop-ment groups which supported international schools. She advised schools on setting up their own offi ces. It is fair to say that if the development scene in European international schools is well-established today, it is thanks, in large part, to Carrie’s commitment and determination.

Carrie’s presence at the International School of Paris was not limited to her professional input. She was an active par-ticipant in all school events, played violin with ISP students in concerts and drama performances, always supported those going through tough times in their lives, and wholeheartedly joined their celebrations when things went well. Her opti-mism, spirit and sparkling eyes are sorely missed by the whole ISP community.

Catherine Hâche-Matheson had her roots firmly in the Scottish Highlands. She was born and brought up in Edinburgh by par-ents who were both medical doctors, and she was the eldest of four children.

Catherine began her education at Saint George’s School for Girls in Edinburgh, and continued her studies at the Edinburgh School of Arts, where she specialized in drawing, painting and tapestry weaving. In addition to receiving a postgraduate cer-tificate in art and crafts, she was also granted several awards and scholarships, which took her to many inspiring places around Europe, Poland and Russia among them. Catherine became a certified art teacher at Edinburgh Moray House School of Education, and taught art at Le Rosey International School, in Switzerland, for three years.

Education and Art were her main interests. She loved the way art is valued, taught and learned in the PYP (Primary Years Programme). In an ISP publication from 2009, Catherine

Matheson said: ‘Teaching art in a PYP school is very exciting. In many other schools the art teachers are doing completely separate things on their own. At ISP, there is a strong link between the teachers; we are working together and learning together. Art is not only a subject in the curriculum: it is a way of strengthening the process of holistic and life-long learning through creativity.’

Throughout her life, Catherine continued being active as an artist. She was especially keen on tapestry work, and pro-duced many beautiful tapestry hangings which are currently parts of various collections around the world. In addition to being a professional artist herself, she had an amazing talent to combine the creativity of ISP’s students into beautiful and moving art pieces. At a recent commemorative ceremony, one of these paintings was placed permanently on the wall just outside the art class, as a continuing reminder of Catherine’s inspiring presence.

Since 2008, French law has allowed the creation of so-called Fonds de Dotation (Endowment Fund), and ISP was quick to set up its Fund in the same year. The ISP Fonds de Dotation is a legal entity, separate and distinct from the ISP Association, and, as defi ned in its bylaws, its purpose is to provide a stable and growing annual contribution to support educational activi-ties of academic excellence. Christopher Baker, an ISP parent and attorney who was closely involved in the development of the French fonds de dotation legislation explains:

“The goal of the Fonds de Dotation is to help to ensure the long term fi nancial security of ISP. Thus while ISP’s mission is to provide excellent education to our children each and every day, the Fonds de Dotation’s objective is to provide ISP with long term fi nancial resources so that ISP will be there to serve future gen-erations as well.”

Setting up the Fonds de Dotation was something that Carrie Levenson-Wahl was very passionate about. She often referred to it as the school’s “savings account”. Anyone who has ever begun saving from scratch knows that it takes time, perseverance and

patience. And, as anyone who has reached their savings target knows, the time and perseverance do pay off. Carrie started the process of securing ISP’s future. Now, it’s up to us to build it.

The initial target of ISP’s Fonds de Dotation is to grow its endow-ment to €1,000,000. Once that level has been reached, income from the endowment (interest, dividends, etc.) will be used to support ISP and its programs, while the principal itself will con-tinue to grow through fundraising and gifts. The income can be used to support activities in the following categories:

Academic Excellence ScholarshipsStaff Professional DevelopmentRestricted FundsThis year, ISP’s development committee has decided to con-

centrate all fundraising efforts on growing the endowment fund. We invite you all to join in!

ISP’s fundraising Gala 2013 will be held on Saturday, February 23, in celebra-

tion of Carrie Levenson-Wahl. All proceeds will go to the Fonds de Dotation.

Thus while ISP’s mission is to provide excellent education to our children each and every day, the Fonds de Dotation’s objective is to provide ISP with long term fi nancial resources so that ISP will be there to serve future gen-erations as well. ” —Christopher Baker, ISP parent and attorney

The ISP Fonds de Dotation is a legal entity, separate and distinct from the ISP Association, and, as defi ned in its bylaws, its purpose is to provide a stable and growing annual contribution to support educational activi-ties of academic excellence. Christopher Baker, an ISP parent and attorney who was closely involved in the development of the French fonds de dotation legislation explains:

“The goal of the Fonds de Dotation is to help to ensure the long term fi nancial security of ISP. Thus while ISP’s mission is to provide excellent education to our children each and every day, the Fonds de Dotation’s objective is to provide ISP with long term fi nancial resources so that ISP will be there to serve future gen-erations as well.”

Setting up the Fonds de Dotation was something that Carrie Levenson-Wahl was very passionate about. She often referred to it as the school’s “savings account”. Anyone who has ever begun saving from scratch knows that it takes time, perseverance and

patience. And, as anyone who has reached their savings target knows, the time and perseverance do pay off. Carrie started the process of securing ISP’s future. Now, it’s up to us to build it.

The initial target of ISP’s Fonds de Dotation is to grow its endow-ment to €1,000,000. Once that level has been reached, income from the endowment (interest, dividends, etc.) will be used to support ISP and its programs, while the principal itself will con-tinue to grow through fundraising and gifts. The income can be used to support activities in the following categories:

Academic Excellence ScholarshipsStaff Professional DevelopmentRestricted FundsThis year, ISP’s development committee has decided to con-

centrate all fundraising efforts on growing the endowment fund. We invite you all to join in!

ISP’s fundraising Gala 2013 will be held on Saturday, February 23, in celebra-

tion of Carrie Levenson-Wahl. All proceeds will go to the Fonds de Dotation.

“The goal of the Fonds de Dotation is to help to ensure the long term fi nancial security of ISP. Thus while ISP’s mission is to provide excellent education to our children each and every day, the Fonds de Dotation’s objective is to provide ISP with long term fi nancial resources so that ISP will be there to serve future gen-erations as well. ” —Christopher Baker, ISP parent and attorney

Community-Wide Strategic Plan Survey sent out—record 802 responses

Focus Groups facilitated by Triangle Associates (external con-sultants). 107 parents, staff, students and alumni partici-pate.

Strategic Planning Workshop. 40 selected volunteers spend the weekend to discuss strategic questions based on the Community-Wide Survey and Focus Groups’ results.

Based on reports, Strategy Committee identifi es four main areas of focus and specifi c goals.

Board approves goals related to four main areas.

Senior Leadership Team of the school expands the goals into concrete action items.

Final Strategic Plan for 2012-15 approved by Board of Trustees.

Dresser-Rand/ISP Sustainability Project In 2011-12, ISP was fortunate to partner with Dresser-Rand, a global company specialized in

custom-engineered equipment solutions for long-life, critical applications in the oil, gas, petro-chemical, and process industries. One of the results of this relationship was the Dresser-Rand/ISP Sustainability Project, which took place in June. Six ISP students had a chance to learn more about global manufacturing, new technology and professional life in a corporate environment.

The students were given a research topic on which they were asked to prepare a presentation, as well as a written article to be published in Dresser-Rand’s 2012 Sustainability Report. At the begin-ning, the students discussed the geography, history, economics and science behind energy production during lunch-time sessions at ISP. They also discussed the implications of rising energy demand with particular emphasis on the use of more effi cient technology to reduce fuel consumption.

In Paris, the students visited the Dresser-Rand headquarters and worked on their presentation together with the CEO and other employees. The project culminated in a visit to Norway, where the team visited the Norwegian oil company Statoil, gave their presentation to Statoil’s Executive Vice President of Technology, Projects and Drilling and interviewed her about sustainability.

ISP would like to sincerely thank Dresser-Rand for providing our students with this truly unique opportunity to experience business and technology in a real life context.

If your company is interested in developing a similar project together with us, please contact Tuija Wallgren at twallgren@isparis.edu or +33 (1) 01 42 24 05 69.

VisionThe Vision for the

International School of Paris is to benefi t from the diversity of its community in creating well-educated, internationally-minded citizens.

Mission The Mission of ISP is to

create a challenging and motivating English-speaking environment where students and staff from around the world use the programmes of the International Baccalaureate Organization and work in harmony to develop every student’s full intellectual and human potential.

A Strategic Plan helps an organization to defi ne its priorities and specifi c goals. At ISP, we use the Strategic Plan as a tool to strengthen and support our commitment to our vision, mission and philosophy. The time span of a Strategic Plan is usually three to fi ve years, and after a suc-cessful implementation of the previous plan from 2007 it was time to launch a new project during the Academic Year 2011-12.

ISP’s Strategic Plan is initially driven by the Board of Trustees, but the whole community is involved in the process. In early January 2011, the Board invited all constituencies to participate in a Community-Wide Strategic Plan Survey. The high number of responses was a clear and positive sign of our commu-

nity’s engagement. In addition, many parents, students and staff members signed up to specifi c Focus Groups, which were facilitated discussions on topics that emerged from the survey. The planning stage culminated in a Weekend Workshop, where the results of the Survey and Focus Groups were further explored and analyzed in depth.

Based on all previous reports, the Strategy Committee then identifi ed the following four main areas of focus for the Strategic Plan 2012-15:

1. Excellence2. Facilities3. Communication 4. FinanceSpecifi c goals related to

these areas were identifi ed and approved by the Board in June. During the summer, the

Senior Leadership Team of the school expanded the goals into concrete action items, and the complete Strategic Plan was approved by the Board at their September 2012 Board meeting.

The Head of School and the School Leadership Team have already begun to implement actions and strategies derived from the process, and the Board will be closely monitor-ing outcomes and results. The fi nal Strategic Plan document is available to the ISP commu-nity on the Board of Trustees section of the website.

The Board would like to sincerely thank everyone who gave their time, energy and expertise during these initial stages of the Strategic Planning process. Your support and engagement is greatly appreciated.

ISP Alumni is much more than its graduates. Our com-munity is very mobile, and many of our families stay at the school only for a limited period of time. These students move on to continue their education, and fi nally graduate at another school, elsewhere in the world. Another aspect of our com-munity is that everyone

is engaged in making our school special. Thanks to our dynamic and active PTA, many of the parents are closely involved in the everyday life and happenings of the school.

Our former students, par-ents and staff members often get in touch with us, sharing the fond memories that they have from their time at ISP. We have recently set up social

media groups in both LinkedIn and Facebook, in order to facilitate our alumni rela-tions. We invite all our former students, parents and staff members to keep in touch with us by signing up!

In addition to the new social media initiatives, we continue to keep our alumni mailing list updated. If you are a member of the ISP alumni but did not

recently receive an email with a link to this Annual Report, please send us an email at twallgren@isparis.edu. Being on the alumni mailing list will enable you to receive timely information about our alumni reunions, anniversaries and other events.

Looking forward to keep-ing in touch and hearing your news!

As every year, the class of 2012 students were accepted at excellent universities and colleges. Our students are interested in a diverse range of subjects and different academic systems in various countries. The IB Diploma – often bilingual – makes our students very attractive to top academic institutions throughout the world, which is refl ected in their acceptances.

Average Grades by Subject - ISP Class of 2012

At the Graduation Ceremony in May, 68 happy students received their ISP diplomas.

While all ISP’s Grade 11-12 students take courses aiming to the IB Diploma, a very small minority opt to sit only selected IB exams. This year, 66 students received the full IB Diploma in July. 53% of them were bilingual diplomas, where the student dem-onstrates an ability to meet high academic standards using two different languages.

ISP students were successful in all subject groups of the IB Diploma Programme.

Our pass rate is extremely good, particularly because the great majority of our students do the

full IB Diploma. At many other schools only the best students are selected to do that.

The average worldwide points

have been calculated by using a

hypothetical worldwide sample

with the same subject distribution

as the ISP cohort for 2011/12.

Four happy former ISP families got together in May 2012 in Seattle, Washington – practically on the other side of the globe from Paris! The Ricklefs family, the Steckler family, the Dadoun family and the Woolsey family are all recent ISP families, and it is heart-warming to see that they have kept in touch even after their departure. Thank you for sharing this moment with us!
