Our Mission and Values
The beliefs that shape how our children learn, grow and contribute.
A school where every child is known
At LIS, education is about more than academic achievement. We are a small, close-knit international school where children feel safe, valued and inspired to become curious learners, compassionate people and confident contributors to the world around them.
Where we are going—and how we get there
Our Mission
To nurture confident, compassionate and curious learners within a warm, inclusive community where every child is known and valued. Through strong academic foundations, purposeful learning and character development, we prepare children to contribute meaningfully to a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Our Vision
To grow a kind, inclusive and forward-thinking learning community where children discover their strengths, pursue their passions and take meaningful action for a more sustainable future.
What this looks like at LIS
Our beliefs shape more than what we teach—they shape how children learn, grow and experience school each day.
Strong Foundations, Global Standards
Through the English National Curriculum, supported by carefully selected Cambridge educational resources, children build secure foundations in literacy, mathematics and the wider curriculum. Regular assessments and progress checkpoints help us recognise each child’s achievements and identify where further support or challenge is needed.
Character for Life
Respect, care, inclusiveness, integrity, responsibility and courage are at the heart of life at LIS. These shared values guide how children learn, build relationships, respond to challenges and make positive choices throughout school life.
Every Child's Passion and Potential
Because every child is known as an individual, we can recognise their strengths, support their needs and create opportunities for them to build confidence, explore their interests and discover what inspires them.
The Values We Live Every Day
Through our Kindness in the Classroom curriculum, children explore six shared character traits from Early Years to Year 6. Learning builds progressively in depth and complexity as children grow, helping them develop strong social and emotional intelligence. These values shape how children learn, build relationships, respond to challenges and make positive choices throughout school life.
