Educational Philosophy:

The educational philosophy of International High School is to provide students the opportunity to be actively engaged in the learning process while exploring, respecting and celebrating diversity. It is further understood that high performance standards and expectations will set and define the school culture as school governance is shared collaboratively among students, staff and parents. Community service will enrich the experience upon which learning is built. Fluency in a second language will be the resource for students, school and society. Therefore, our graduates will develop the capacity to be life-long learners. They will make appropriate life and career choices through their active involvement in a wide variety of cultural and educational experiences provided by the school and ultimately, the community.
