Teaching approach of the school |
Global Citizens. Creative & Reflective Problem Solvers. Lifelong Learners. Anne Hill International School recognises that students today face a world which is more interconnected than ever before. That it is essential for young people to explore and better understand the global issues of the world they live in with a sense of hope and empowerment for change. AHI meets these needs through a selection of internationally focused curriculums as well as the hosting of multi-cultural events throughout the year. In doing so, AHI provide students the opportunity to learn about and respect diverse perspectives, effectively communicate across cultures, and ultimately, understand and address global challenges in their world. The end goal is to inspire compassionate and well-informed problem-solvers who understand the interconnectedness of cultures and environments. |
