Our Beliefs

Furthermore, we believe that international mindedness is an attribute that is going to be central to the lives of children who may:

• travel more
• work away from their home country in different cultural settings
• work in their home countries but for organizations operating within different cultural parameters
• live in their home countries but alongside increasingly diverse cultures
• be a part of solving world problems, such as the environment, that require the contribution of different cultures
• live in a world that is influenced significantly by events generating from within cultures other than their own

At International School Olomouc we also believe that:

• A child is a unique individual, possessing dignity and worth;
• A child develops physically and intellectually at a rate that is singular to him/her, and each child has different learning styles and multiple intelligences;
• Education is a gradual process which starts in the home, is enhanced through the school, and continues throughout life;
• Formal education is a shared responsibility between parents and the school;
• A school should provide a safe environment which nurtures social and emotional well-being;
• A school should strive to educate the whole child, providing experiences in intellectual development, physical exercise, aesthetic appreciation, creative production, social cooperation, and character formation;
• A quality educational program provides challenges for all students with support for students with special needs;
• An international school should foster respect and understanding among individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures
