Island School

Core aims of Teaching and Learning at Island School are …

• to develop all the talents of its students: intellectual, academic, imaginative, physical, moral and social;

• for students to look back at their time at Island School fondly and to know that their time here helped them to become successful and happy;

• for students to grow into people who contribute positively to the different communities they become part of;

• for students to be effective learners, beyond as well as in, the classroom and to love learning throughout their lives;

• to contribute significantly to students’ growing sense of what is right and wrong and to support them in finding meaning in an increasingly complex and diverse world;

• to develop global awareness and inter-cultural understanding in our students that rests on a firm sense of self and individual cultural identity;

• to develop in students the competencies outlined in the IB Learner Profile;

• to ensure that every student achieves examination results in line with or beyond expectations and is able to move on to the higher educational experience they need and want;

• to develop creative problem solvers who work effectively as part of teams.
