Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The International School of Belgrade is committed to being a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive school community. We are just starting our journey, and this will be a major focus in our new Strategic Plan in 2021. We will challenge ourselves to do this with courage, empathy and mutual respect, and we do so in the belief that it will lead to a better future for all our children.


At ISB, our community is our village and our diversity is our strength.


The following statements affirm our commitment to take action to become a truly Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive School Community:


  • ISB affirms all identities in our community.


  • We are proudly an anti-discrimination community committed to building a more equitable society through our learning and our actions. We go beyond ‘non-discrimination’ by developing leaders who have the character and courage to confront injustice and to advocate for themselves and others. We recognize our responsibility in shaping the world around us.


  • We believe that everyone has the right to access a learning program in which all identities, backgrounds, and experiences are recognized and where our shared humanity is affirmed.


  • We are committed to becoming a fully inclusive school, providing equitable access to all aspects of school life for all students.


  • We encourage debate about the complex issues facing society. We provide our students and the wider community, the platform to challenge limiting beliefs, break uncomfortable barriers, and support anti-discrimination in all its forms.


  • We know that we are not born with tendencies to discriminate, we acquire them. As an international school, we are uniquely placed to help our young students see past these artificial barriers.


  • We believe that diversity is our strength and that we are enriched through our differences. We believe that diversity is the key for our students to be better collaborators, stronger inquirers, braver communicators, more creative innovators, and deeper thinkers.


  • We know that our children’s world will be even more inclusive and diverse. To be successful, students need to have experienced that in school.
