CIS MISSION STATEMENT AND PHILOSOPHY<br />

Mission Statement<br />

Our mission is to develop the potential of each student in a stimulating environment of cultural diversity,<br />

academic excellence and mutual respect.<br />

PHILOSOPHY<br />

At <strong>Copenhagen</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>School</strong> we endeavor:<br />

• to educate our students in a stimulating environment to the highest possible academic<br />

standards using the <strong>International</strong> Baccalaureate Programs (PYP, MYP, DP).<br />

• to educate world citizens who, celebrating both their shared humanity and cultural<br />

diversity, will shape a more peaceful world.<br />

• to instill respect, tolerance, integrity and compassion; to promote the confidence and<br />

independence to be risk-takers; to create students who are open-minded, questioning<br />

and understanding.<br />

• to be aware of the social and emotional needs of each individual student and work<br />

with the home in a caring atmosp<strong>here</strong>, to provide a sense of stability.<br />

• to inspire creativity in each student in its broadest aspect and help to enlarge the<br />

human spirit both aesthetically and morally.<br />

• to create students who are respectful of, and knowledgeable about, their local and<br />

global environment.<br />

THE IB MISSION AND LEARNER PROFILE<br />

As an IB World <strong>School</strong>, CIS also supports the IB mission, “to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring<br />

young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and<br />

respect… to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with<br />

their differences, can also be right.” We also work towards the IB Learner Profile. IB learners strive to be:<br />
