Philosophy & Mission
Mission
Our mission is to provide an outstanding education in a caring international environment, inspiring all our students to reach their true potential and to act as responsible participants in a global society.
Philosophy
The International School of Luxembourg believes it is vital that we teach children the knowledge and skills they need to function successfully within both the community of our school and the multilingual, multicultural societies in which we live. It is also essential that we provide our students with the opportunity and motivate them to develop skills to become lifelong learners, enabling them to take responsibility for their own learning and well-being. The school considers the following attributes to be of great importance:
- Inquiry
- Critical thinking
- Communication
- Open-mindedness
- Risk-taking
- Creativity
- Reflection
We believe it is equally important that the school together with the family and the wider community foster responsible attitudes and desirable behaviour, enabling students to act with integrity and to take responsibility for their actions.
We have a duty to set world-recognised standards of achievement and to enable students to meet these standards. We believe that instruction should be differentiated to equably support those students capable of exceeding the standards and students who have difficulty in achieving them.
We recognise the importance of intellectual, physical and emotional balance by providing a diversity of sporting, recreational and creative activities.
We do not tolerate any form of discrimination. We believe, moreover, that the school must offer an environment where children of different nationalities, cultures, backgrounds and beliefs can learn to know, understand, and respect each other.
