Mission Statement

Since the international programmes reflect cultural and educational backgrounds of many countries they provide our students with intellectual and critical perspectives necessary for the adult world that lies ahead of them. The education of the ‘whole person’ is of a special significance in our school. Our students are taught how to learn, how to analyse and how to reach conclusions about people all over the world. On the other hand academic training provides them with the values and opportunities that will enable them to succeed in the competitive world.

The main educational policies of the school are: cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, holistic and humanistic approach to education. Some of our teachers are working in their professional fields reaching for further academic degrees. Others participate in professional courses within the range of topics related to school educational policies. At the same time they all share their knowledge and experience in the school teachings. Cooperation between teachers as well as cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural teaching process allow the students to take advantage of their teachers’ self-development and teachers themselves to develop in their fields.

International education should inspire students, teachers and community members to broaden their educational outlooks, experiences and practices in order to fully appreciate the world and its people.

It also should provide internationally acceptable qualification for entry into higher education. It should educate the ‘whole person’ emphasizing intellectual, personal, emotional and social growth in a student-controlled philosophy.

The school promotes international education through enhancing certain international values in students development, a strong sense of international awareness, international understanding, tolerance and compassion. Our school staff is encouraged to be fully committed to exploring and establishing a variety of ways in which the internationalism is brought to the forefront of everyday school life, particularly in the classroom and other activities.
