LE SUD International Policy

Rationale

It has always been a priority for our school Le Sud to encourage international learning through a variety of mediums. Our objective being exposure of our pupils to global education and citizenship without forgetting to preserve their own identity.

Now and more than ever before, open mindedness is crucial to minimizing conflicts between nations paving the way for coexistence, tolerance, respect and peace.Which we are seeking to make deeply rooted in the education we give to our pupils.As educators, we are well aware that technology and globalisation has turned this fast-paced world into a global village. Therefore, we are convinced it is of paramount importance to prepare our students for global citizenship through values, life skills, know how among others.
