Mission

Vision International School – a separate gender, college preparatory school – is committed to preparing students for the 21st century by providing an academic environment in which students learn how to creatively solve problems and to learn independently. In addition, students will learn to express themselves through the fine arts, athletics and a wide range of activities and experiences designed to enrich their lives. We seek to instill a sense of ethics, care and compassion for others through engagement in community service and global citizenship

Curriculum:

Provides a wide range of experiences and programs that actively engage students and promote their growth intellectually, physically, aesthetically and socially while developing a depth of character that exhibits empathy, a sense of service, moral courage, and humility.

Sparks a passion in students to learn and to become intensely immersed in education as its own reward.  This is accomplished by the provision of student-centered learning experiences that are real and relevant to the student, and under the guidance of caring, professional teachers that recognize each child as a unique individual.

Instills global citizenship by celebrating the culture and traditions of Qatar and other countries of the world.  By experiencing the world through the eyes of others, and recognizing our similarities and differences, students become more grounded in their own culture, values, and traditions while gaining a broader understanding and appreciation of human diversity.

Recognizes the unique learning needs of each student and provides an appropriately rigorous program for all. Differentiated learning establishes expectations that challenge all students to grow beyond their boundaries under the guidance of a teaching faculty that deeply understands the unique educational needs and capabilities of every child.

Uses technology appropriately as a natural extension to enhance learning opportunities.  Students are exposed to and engaged in the use of technology on a regular basis as a means to expand their classroom experience and provide them new opportunities for self-expression and discovery.
