Mission
The International School Telemark aims to develop well-informed, responsible, confident, open-minded and active individuals by providing a welcoming and caring educational community within which students are motivated to realise their full potential through a stimulating and challenging international education in a multi-cultural environment.
The International School Telemark believes that:
• The School must be a friendly and supportive place, where all its members, irrespective of gender, race or disability
are valued and can achieve success.
• Education should inspire a love of learning and foster curiosity and a sense of wonder.
• It should offer a broad based, relevant and coherent curriculum which displays continuity, progression and
differentiation; which will equip its pupils with the knowledge, skills, understanding and qualification they need for
later life; and which recognises that we live in a multi-cultural society.
• High standards of achievement need to be set for both staff and pupils, through close analysis, assessment and
target setting.
• The School must offer processes of education which are active, which offer a variety of approaches, learning styles
and forms of organisation, and which put due emphasis on the needs of the real world.
• The ethos of an effective learning community stresses the highest moral standard and values and requires mutual
respect, honesty, fairness, tolerance, supportive relationships and teamwork of all pupils, teaching and
administrative staff, parents and members of the Board of Governors.
