community school

The profile of the ISH as a Community School implies first of all that we offer opportunities

to our students to make full use of their academic and extra-curricular talents and interests.

The following five components complete the profile:

-the concept of  ‘education permanente’, which involves offering educational facilities ranging

from pre-school day-care to evening classesto students, parents and staff of our international

community

-the school as a centre for social, creative and athletic activities for the international families the

school serves -the school as the bridge between its international community and the Dutch host

community

-the school as a venue for professional activities for external stakeholders

-the notion, key in the IBO Learner Profile and core to our Community School ethos, that

education leads to responsible global citizenship. In both curricular and non-curricular activities

we aim to develop durable commitment to this all-important principle
