WHAT WE STAND FOR

The principle goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive, and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.

Jean Piaget, Educational pioneer (1896 – 1980)

As an international school the values we aspire to are:

• To develop a positive environment within which students and staff can grow, succeed and flourish, and learn to respect one another, accommodating difference and valuing the integrity of individuals.
• To provide outstanding care, guidance and support for all students at the school.
• To promote through appropriate learning and teaching styles and experiences, the concepts of independence and interdependence; preparing students for participation, contribution, success and fulfilment in a complex multicultural world.
• To support and develop students and families spiritually, morally, socially and culturally in ways which are personal, responsive and relevant.
• To promote the values of openness, honesty, professionalism and quality in all that we do.
• To ensure that students progress and succeed in reaching their potential (academically and socially) while having a cherished experience of being young.

To extend these same values in our work with parents and the local and international community beyond the bounds of the school.

At EISP we strive for these outcomes for our students...

That they leave EISP at whatever stage having developed further as young people who:

Are independent lifelong learners

Are engaged

Are inquirers

Are risk takers

Are critical thinkers

Value diversity

Are healthy

Are reflective

Are principled

Are compassionate

Can contribute meaningfully to the global community
