UISZ recognises that each learner is unique and that knowledge is constructed in context. UISZ believes that high-quality inquiry-based learning occurs when learners are challenged, inspired, and motivated. A substantial home–school partnership strengthens engagement and enables teachers and parents to guide students as independent lifelong learners.
Defining Learning at UISZ
High Quality Learning
Intercultural Learning
UISZ is a community with over 50 nationalities and a mosaic of cultural and linguistic diversity. Intercultural learning is building respect for self and others and promoting mother tongue language. This is promoted throughout the curriculum and by celebrating cultural diversity.
Global Citizenship
Global citizenship is social responsibility and engaging in global civic action. It deals with our uniqueness, commonalities and stewardship of the planet.
International Mindedness
International mindedness is a constant process of understanding ourselves and appreciating the complexity of our world, our international and cultural identities, and relationships between nation-states.
