The IES mission is ‘to provide excellence in educational provision within an international perspective’.

We promote the development of young people who will have the capacity to contribute proactively to the creation of a better world.  Through dynamic programmes, we will strive to develop leaders for the future who are collaborative, communicative, enquiring, respectful and creative individuals with a passion for lifelong learning.  Our learners will be encouraged to integrate effectively in the local, national and international communities through a range of diverse opportunities.

IES schools are associated with the International Schools Association (ISA).  ISA is an international non-governmental organization and the first educational NGO to be granted consultative status at UNESCO in the World.  IES promotes a curriculum based on the International Baccalaureate Organisation.  The organization SEK was involved in the early stages of the development of the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB).
