Through our bilingual immersion programs and dedication to the IB Learner Profile, we celebrate diversity every day.
Integrity, respect, inclusivity, and accountability guide our actions and decisions.
We are committed to service and making a meaningful impact wherever we go.
1. Dynamic Multi/Bilingual education:
IDS provides a vibrant bilingual education that goes beyond language fluencyβitβs about learning through language. Each day, students engage in a dynamic multilingual and multicultural environment, fostering the cultural literacy and communication skills essential for success in a globalized world.
2. Inquiry driven learning:
Inquiry-driven learning is an educational approach that actively engages students in the learning process by encouraging them to ask questions, seek answers, make meaningful connections, reflect on their learning, and take action.
At IDS, teachers in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme guide students in mastering specific content and skills outlined in our curricula. However, rather than simply delivering information, they foster curiosity and deeper conceptual understanding, allowing students to take ownership of their learning. This distinctive approach equips students with the critical thinking and analytical skills needed to excel in the rigorous IB Programme.
3. Social Learning in an International Environment:
IDS is committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students are empowered to reach their full potential. Grounded in the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Learner Profile, social learning is seamlessly integrated into the curriculum and explicitly taught to nurture emotional intelligence and well-being.
The IDS team collaborates closely with faculty and staff to provide guidance and ensure that school programs align with the schoolβs mission and best practices. Their efforts help cultivate a sense of belonging and promote the integration of social-emotional learning across all aspects of student life.
At the start of each year, classes work together to establish Essential Agreements, reinforcing shared expectations for behavior. These agreements align with the IB Learner Profile, and our principles, fostering a culture of respect and responsibility. Additionally, our international and bilingual approach celebrates the uniqueness of each individual, reinforcing the value of diversity and strengthening our vibrant learning community.
