Originally founded as a fishing village in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Yangon has grown into an expanding city full of friendly people and rich culture. Today, although the city contains five million citizens, it does not suffer from overpopulation or pollution common in many capital cities.

Opened to tourism only recently, Yangon still retains a rich and unique culture. The combination of strong cultural traditions and bustle of city life in Yangon creates a contrast that is quite captivating.

In the shadow of Myanmar’s largest and most holy pagoda, the Shwedegon, International School Yangon is located in the heart of the beautiful Golden Valley suburbs.
