Head of School Goals

The School Head’s responsibility is to create optimal conditions, to ensure that our school develops continuously according to our central ideas.

The responsibility of a bilingual school is to create from different life, teaching and learning styles a unique bilingual world in which children, teachers and parents with different mother tongues are able to feel equally comfortable and challenged.

In a day school, the focus on education is equally shared by community living and mutual respect, where everyone accepts responsibility within their capacity.
