Values and Vision

Heidelberg International School aims to educate the students on the diverse society they live within. They are taught to be respectful and tolerant of people from different backgrounds and those with different religions to them. The pupils are encouraged to share their life stories with everyone in the classroom. The school holds a yearly Fun Fest. This festival celebrates the differences in every individual. The pupils are also taught to develop personal, moral and social skills, as well as gaining academic qualifications by attending the school. The teachers nurture the pupils and help to further their development. The students should take part in clubs outside of school hours. These activities include revision clubs, wall climbing, physical education – to name a few. The curriculum is balanced and gives the students excellent knowledge and the skills needed to succeed in the modern world. It should also help them become employable.
