Our Mission, Vision and Values
We make a wholesome impact on the world by seeking to inspire a love of lifelong learning in every child and the whole community, enabling them to develop their unique capacities. We prepare our students to be confident, competent, capable and responsible global citizens, who understand, respect and celebrate diversity.
Our Vision (by June 2024) We are a leading progressive organisation, changing the educational paradigm: a community of 1000 thriving and flourishing students, committed families, and inspired team members, connected to a variety of local and global networks, proud to be part of The Island School. |
