International School of Stuttgart > about ISS > our mission & philosophy
Mission & Philosophy Statement Leading education for internationally-minded families Our mission is to inspire, challenge and actively support our students and each other to become positive participants in a changing world. We believe in the importance of: Innovation: Emphasizing creative problem-solving and confident adaptation to change. Respect: Fostering empathy and integrity to nurture a caring responsibility within a diverse cultural community. Engagement: Challenging and inspiring understanding through active curiosity and individual involvement in learning. Relevance: Accessing and discerning real life connections between intellectual experience and the changing world. The ISS experience inspires its learners to develop a sense of pride and commitment to making a difference. A transparent and reflective partnership between students, teachers and family is fundamental to our mission. The Mission Statement and then the Philosophy that a school adopts are essential in building up a coherent framework for the school that is understandable to new parent and student. These statements drive the school in a clear, considered direction that precludes being side-tracked by peripheral issues or by particular interest groups. Both are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure continued alignment. Our Mission was reviewed jointly by the parent, teaching and administrative body, with input from older students in the Spring of 2009. ISS is accredited by the Council of International Schools and by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. |
