Horizons Week encapsulates West Island's School vision:
Find your purpose, realise your potential
Horizons Week is a manifestation of West Island School's values:
Collaborating on shared challenges and adventures with peers and staff strengthens the bonds of community, reinforcing a collective sense of purpose that extends far beyond the campus walls.
The focus on broadening global and local perspectives naturally cultivates compassion, encouraging empathy and service as students engage with diverse communities.
By providing students with an exciting platform to learn in non-traditional settings beyond the classroom, students embody courage as they embrace new challenges and step outside their comfort zones.
The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools. We believe these attributes, and others like them, can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national and global communities.
