- This weekend ISOCS hosted the final day of training for Irlen Screeners in Switzerland.
Highly experienced teachers from private schools in Switzerland chose to meet together to complete their training at ISOCS because they all wanted to see for themselves this exceptional little school.
No-one was disappointed!
Everyone loved our school and its ethos and we furthered our reputation for excellence in other international schools.
The Irlen Method has helped many students and adults who have experienced reading discomfort and today we heard 12 case studies where peoples lives were dramatically improved when the visual distortion was addressed.
We experienced a very able university student's relief when the effort of reading (and walking up stairs!) was reduced significantly by the addition of some carefully selected light filters.
"I just thought text and lines moved around for everyone!" she exclaimed!
We were all very impressed and I will start free Irlen screenings with renewed enthusiasm for anyone at ISOCS who would like to see if coloured filters can reduce visual stress for them (whether they know they have it or not!!)
Tomorrow ex-Associate Regional Manager of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme has asked to visit the school to get advice about starting a new IB PYP school in Canada.
