Statement of Purpose & Commitments

Concept-Based Inquiry

We are committed to teaching students through a rigorous program of inquiry to think critically, ask questions and solve problems. We commit to nurturing inquiry and curiosity that engages students actively in their own learning to relate to, explore and understand the world around them.

Community

We value a diverse community where everyone is safe, included, appreciated, and feels free to be themselves. We recognise that our school community, the host country, and the international community provide an invaluable opportunity for us to be enriched by the perspectives of others. We are committed to collaborate and communicate effectively, and with empathy.

Personalization

We are an inclusive international school whose learners have different skills and interests and come from diverse educational experiences. Everyone has a unique background, learns differently, and at their own pace. We are committed to adapt and refine our strategies and approaches to support those differences.

International Mindedness

We embrace the opportunity to see the world from various perspectives. We respect the ideas and cultures of others. We create new understandings through connections. We are committed to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive society, and maintaining a global perspective.

Student advocacy

We believe that self-directed learners are more inspired to find and pursue their passions and in doing so develop deeper engagement with their learning. We are committed to teaching students to take a proactive role in designing and evaluating their own learning, as well as finding their own voice as advocates.

Sustainability

We recognize we live in a world of limited resources. We are committed to encourage and create actions and behaviours for sustainability around the school, within our communities, and the world, to share these limited resources and ensure a viable future for everyone.
