At our international school, English is the primary language of instruction. Students join us from a range of backgrounds; we are proud to celebrate diversity while also embracing a globally minded, multicultural worldview. This forward-thinking perspective is shared with over 118 other schools in the Inspired Group. We strive for our students to be internationally and culturally aware and encourage critical-thinking skills so that they may appreciate their individuality and fulfil their true potential.

All EIS teachers should display motivation, life-long learner attributes, and excellent interpersonal skills as they meet the challenges of educating students from diverse international and host country backgrounds. The classroom environment should be well planned and organized, be stimulating, and engaging, providing high quality instruction and learning, underpinned by the ability to deliver inquiry-based, transdisciplinary units, where applicable, across the three IB programmes.
