The principle of education is based on the premise that education for all is considered a human right, and that all students deserve equal opportunities to accessing any of the four programmes provided by the IB.
Students that come from all parts of the world bring with them a distinction from others. Inclusion is therefore facilitated through a culture of collaboration, mutual respect, support and problem-solving and involves all members of the school community.
