EMPOWERED LEARNING
We believe everyone is capable of learning and achieving. Here is how we empower our learners:
- Teaching and instructing in interesting ways that students enjoy and are engaged in learning.
- Providing a truly well-rounded curriculum through which students discover their strengths so they feel positive about themselves as learners. You will find technology, visual and performing arts, athletics, sciences, languages and more all under one roof.
- Challenging in a low-anxiety, nurturing environment that promotes a growth mindset so learning is ‘sticky’ and lifelong.
- Encouraging students to reflect and develop an awareness of their own learning so they can take that understanding and apply it in situations outside of school.
- Helping students fine-tune their collaborative, creative, critical thinking and technological skills so they feel confident and ready for this ever-changing, complex world.
Engaged and empowered learning leads to distinctive learning and successful learning, such as:
- Higher than average International School Assessment results for Primary and Middle School students
- Excellent results on International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) exams taken by High School students
- Impressive results on International Baccalaureate Diploma exams
- Top-notch performances at the national Norwegian Contest for Young Scientists/Researchers in Oslo
- Participation in invite-only academic competitions and sports/arts events run through outside organisations
- High university placement success rates
