Mission and Vision
Our mission
By placing PLAY at the heart of education, ISB stimulates every child’s natural desire to LEARN.
Our vision
To cultivate a community of lifelong learners who will create a better world with courage, compassion and curiosity.
Why play?
At ISB we believe play is a core approach to learning…and to life. Playful people of all ages are actively engaged and driven by an internal desire to understand and reshape the world. They test the limits of their abilities without fear of failure, knowing that mistakes are the key to progress and, ultimately, success. They share ideas and make new rules. They laugh.
At ISB we believe that by creating a culture of playful learning —by consciously introducing elements of choice, wonder and delight into the classroom— we are nurturing the qualities that will carry our students not only to their next educational destinations, but through life. No matter the paths they choose, ISB graduates will seek knowledge, take risks and care for one another.
They will play, and they will learn.
Our history
We opened our doors in August 2013 with just over 60 students in Kindergarten and Primary. Today, we have more than 550 students, ages 3-16, spread across Kindergarten, Primary and Middle School. More than 65 nationalities are represented at ISB, and our Mission and Vision mirrors our values, and the qualities we wish to see in our students.
Playful Learning and academics
From the start, our goal have been to demonstrate the power of playful learning, and to make Billund an attractive place to settle for Danish and international families.
ISB’s playful curriculum is built upon the rigorous educational framework of the International Baccalaureate, providing students with a solid and transferable foundation of academic skills. We are an authorised IB World School for both the Primary and Middle Years Programme.
Our Mission and Vision provide a solid base for the curriculum.
