Guiding Statements

THE GUIDING STATEMENTS OF THE BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ISTANBUL

Vision and Mission
Our school provides a safe and caring international environment that celebrates cultural diversity. Students have the opportunity to achieve their full academic potential and to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens of the global community.

Definition of Internationalism/Interculturalism
We aim to develop understanding and mutual respect of all nationalities within our community, allowing us to explore the beliefs, values and circumstances of all cultures. We believe our internationalism provides better learning, acceptance, and a holistic approach to the fact that wonder and greatness comes from the diversity of difference.

Definition of High Quality Learning
Students can articulate their learning journey, accurately reflect upon their progress within an engaging enrichment programme, and successfully manage, synthesize and interpret new concepts at a high standard.
