The Educational Philosophy

The Marble Hill School for International Studies embodies the following beliefs about education and learning:
  • Student learning is the chief priority and focus of the school.
  • Learning must occur through valuable and meaningful experiences.
  • Learning must engage students’ unique gifts, passions and rights.
  • Students learn best in heterogeneous settings using collaborative grouping and a variety of instructional approaches.
  • Fluency in more than one language is an asset for the student, the school and the community.
  • Language learning promotes awareness and tolerance of other cultures.<./li>
  • Teachers have greater commitment to the school when their roles become that of counselors, advisors and facilitators.
  • Sharing responsibilities as members of the school community creates a supportive learning environment.
