Core values
St. Gilgen International School is one of the truly
outstanding centres of learning in Europe. Through
exceptional academic challenge, discipline, courage and
personal growth we help to create involved, active and highly
educated world citizens who celebrate diversity and who view
differences as enrichment. We aim to foster in our students an
understanding and respect for their own and other cultures,
tolerance and the courage of their own convictions.
International education uniquely anticipates the challenges
of higher education and professional life. It recognises that
everyone brings personal dispositions, prior experiences and
individual cultural perspectives to learning. We expect all our
students to progress to leading universities around the globe
and then to take up their place in the world as a positive force
for change.
Learning to learn
At St. Gilgen, we endorse the four essential pillars of
education as identified in Learning: The Treasure Within
(UNESCO, 1996): Learning to know; Learning to do; Learning
to live together; and Learning to be.

School are ‘learning to learn’ in conjunction with the world
around them. St. Gilgen International School is committed to
developing each individual student’s talents by providing a
challenging personalised and differentiated education both
within and beyond the classroom.
Learning is a dynamic individual and group process aided by
student and staff engagement, goal setting and risk taking,
reflection and passion. Continuous evaluation of learning is
also critical in providing evidence of understanding and in
reflecting the continuous nature of learning itself. Learning is
not confined to specific times and places. School and the ‘real
world’ should be one and the same.
From the outset, we provide each of our students with
elements necessary for effective learning. These include
exceptional teachers, individual learning spaces, outstanding
resources and a personal laptop computer. Students also
receive the guidance of an individual mentor/tutor – and the
support of a house master/mistress and house tutors for
boarding students – in addition to the ongoing support and
encouragement of their teachers. For students who are new to
English there is extra support available, both within and
beyond the classroom.
