The three main pillars of our educational philosophy influence everything we do. Students in our schools:

• Learn to ‘Command the English Language’, the key to the world.

• Enjoy a ‘Safe and Calm Learning Environment’ where teachers can teach and students can learn.

• Reach their full potential in a school with ‘High Academic Expectations’.

The IES educational philosophy continues with a further 6 key components that help define our organisation and set us apart from other Swedish schools.

• Performance-Based Learning:
regular and varied assess ments help students, parents and
teachers monitor a student’s progress.

• No Child Left Behind: we strive to ensure that every child receives the support and encouragement they need to develop and grow both academically and socially.

• Professional Teacher Commitment: we recruit teachers who are dedicated professionals, as passionate about their subject as we are about our schools.

• Internationalism: the teaching staff and student body come from all corners of the world truly making our schools international in their outlook.

• ‘Tough Love’: character development, manners, respect and responsibility are the main responsibility of the school leadership and also taught through teachers who act as role models for these young people.

• Bilingualism: the parallel development of English and Swedish is one of our core goals and achievements models for these young people.
