Educational mission and vision at IFS
At IFS Amsterdam, quality teaching, multilingual learning, dedicated attention and a commitment to student care ensure our pupils are on the path to a lifetime of success from their first day at school. Our French-foundation school creates a nurturing, family-oriented environment where every student is known and supported. Through excellence in French education complemented by bilingual teaching strategy and Dutch language instruction, we prepare confident, successful learners who are deeply connected to the global community.
As part of the Globeducate network, we are able to offer our pupils international opportunities including exchanges and intra-community events that bring together pupils from all over the world.
As part of the AEFE network of French schools abroad (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Etranger) and the Globeducate Group, our school benefits from solid support that propels our development and reinforces our quest for excellence. With solid foundations, we blend tradition and innovation to equip our students with the stability and confidence to face the future.
Our mission:
To provide each student with a unique educational experience that fosters the emergence of a generation of responsible, enlightened, empathetic and creative citizens, ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow's world. We are committed to cultivating in our pupils the skills and values needed to become inspirational leaders and agents of positive change.
Our vision:
The perfect balance
While we support all of our pupils to achieve their potential, we do not believe in prioritising academic performance at the expense of personal development. Education must also help to prepare our children for life in an increasingly complex and changing world. A world where they will have to solve complicated problems, use critical thinking, show discernment and be able to collaborate with others.
That's why we believe in the notion of balance: a balance between academic excellence and personal development, between rational and emotional intelligence, between scientific rigour and creativity. We are committed to academic excellence while encouraging personal development, taking the best of traditional education and merging it with the skills of tomorrow. At IFS, our aim is to offer our pupils a perfect balance that will enable them to blossom and reach their full potential to face tomorrow's world.
