Our Mission
The International School Breda will educate children to be responsible, global citizens in a stimulating and inviting learning environment.

Our Vision
The International School Breda will be an inspiring, respectful and embracing learning environment where children are able to discover and explore their unique talents through first-class, global education and professional care rooted in the universal principles of tolerance, respect, integrity and open-mindedness. The International School Breda aims to be a value-driven school for children as well as parents. Please read more about these explicit values and aims. 

Our Values
The International School Breda aims to be a value-driven school for children and their families. These sustainable values are based on the principles of tolerance, respect, integrity and open mindedness. The leadership of the International School Breda will strongly endeavour that these principles be embraced and applied throughout the school, thus ensuring its identity.

The International School Breda explicitly aims to:

• Offer modern, value-driven education and care. The universal principles of tolerance, respect, integrity and open-mindedness should be natural for child and parent. This implies that the school makes a priority not to exclude any religion, belief or life orientation from education. On the contrary, diversity should contribute to a broad and fulfilling life experience. It goes beyond saying that the school expects a similar open-mindedness from both students and parents.
  
  
• Be anchored in local society. In and around Breda, the many nationalities and cultures should be able to meet freely and learn from each other. This will enrich local society and the lives and experiences of students and parents. Therefore, the International School Breda will explicitly seek collaboration with local sports clubs, cultural clubs, museums, universities and other learning opportunities in the region. Children will have the opportunity to learn about the many people and cultures that are The Netherlands.
  
  
• Offer an environment where respect is an essential prerequisite to learning. Respect is the foundation for daily interaction with each other and the learning environment. Children and parents with diverse beliefs, life orientations and lifestyles should be able to interact freely, thus enhancing mutual understanding and respect. The school will offer a safe haven for all people and will educate the whole child not just in the expected subject areas, but through life and learning skills lessons, thus laying the foundation for the moral compass of a cosmopolitan citizen.
  
  
• Offer demand-driven education to children from 0 to 19 years. In the knowledge that every child has unique talents, the school endeavours to help students uncover those talents and allow them to flourish. Education based on international curricula should provide this through learning opportunities that reach beyond the walls of the school.
  
  
• The personal development of every child is paramount. Appreciating that children learn ‘anytime, anywhere,’ the focus will not exclusively be on helping children uncover knowledge, but equally on the social-emotional development of the child. Contemporary and inspiring programs and methods will be applied to support this effort.
  
  
• Be a lively, inspiring and sustainable learning environment. Children will be challenged to bring out the best in themselves. Each day at school should enrich a child’s life and thus contribute to the child’s development as a tolerant cosmopolitan. Children should be able to have fun, make friends for life, and reflect fondly on memories of their time in Breda.
