Vision and Mission

The International School of the Kootenays Vision and Mission

“The world in which you were born is
just one model of reality.
Other cultures are not failed attempts
at being you;
they are unique manifestations
of the human spirit.”
Wade Davis

Vision
To offer international and intergenerational education that celebrates the human spirit and fosters a life long love of learning. (*)

Mission
The International School of the Kootenays offers liberal arts education that contributes to world peace by deepening the understanding, interest and acceptance for cultural, generational, philosophical, and religious differences; and is designed to equip students of all ages with the practical skills, initiative, and the self-confidence needed to put these ideals into practice.
