Welcome to Sparkling International School!

As the principal, it is both an honor and a joy to lead a school that truly believes in nurturing the whole child. At Sparkling, we are committed to creating a safe, joyful, and inspiring learning environment where every child is supported to grow with confidence, curiosity, creativity, and strong moral values.

We follow international standards with a strong focus on STEAM education and 21st-century skills, ensuring that our students are well-prepared for the world ahead. Our classrooms are filled with hands-on activities, meaningful discussions, and opportunities for exploration and innovation. We don’t just teach subjects — we teach children to think, question, and express themselves. Our special programs, such as phonics, public speaking, elocution, drama, chess, karate, and scouting, are designed to build character, self-discipline, leadership, and teamwork. Scouting in particular helps students connect with nature, serve the community, and become responsible citizens.

At Sparkling, we understand that each child is unique, with different talents and learning styles. Our dedicated teachers use creative, child-friendly methods that support all learners from kindergarten to upper grades. We also work closely with parents, as we believe education is a partnership between school and home.

My goal as Principal is to ensure that every child feels valued, safe, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Let’s work together to shape confident, kind, and capable young leaders who will make a positive difference in the world. Thank you for being a part of the Sparkling family. Together, let’s help every child shine!
Warm regards,

Shiroza Ismath, Principal
