Care and compassion

We believe that we have an obligation to listen thoughtfully to others, to consider their points of view and to treat them with kindness and empathy.

The pursuit of high quality

We set high but realistic standards for everything at ISE.  We regularly assess how we are progressing towards those standards and constantly seek to improve.  We encourage asking, “How can we do that better the next time?”

Inquiry-based learning

“Why?” is our favorite question.  We see ourselves as life-long learners, and developing a joy of learning is essential to what we do.

Taking action

We are committed to making a difference.  Therefore we work hard to connect learning to service.  We look beyond ourselves and seek to make genuine, positive changes in the world around us.
