DIGITAL OPEN HOUSE

At IEGS every individual has the right to a safe, calm and quiet working environment where teachers can teach and students learn. Each individual is personally responsible for their role in the school environment, which entails being prepared to work at the right place and at the right time. IEGS places strong emphasis on group cohesion and individuals developing social competence within the group dynamic. Academically, we are very ambitious for all our students because we see IEGS as a stepping stone to the next stage in academic development.

Since its inception, IEGS has sought to bring English-speaking teachers of the very highest calibre to the school. Almost a quarter of the current teaching staff have doctorates (PhDs) in their field and the majority of staff have masters degrees and qualified teacher-status. The current staff of eighty is drawn from around the world including: Australia, Canada, France, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States and Sweden. Our staff strive to achieve that every student receives excellent pastoral care, develop relationships with peers and adults in a way that prepares them for life beyond and acquire a sense of responsibility and self-discipline.

The student Care Team takes a proactive approach in supporting students. Their focus is early intervention. This involves collaboration with teachers, mentors and other key staff to enable a holistic focus on student health and wellbeing. The aim is to create a safe environment for students to thrive as lifelong learners. 
They work to implement the school’s policies concerning student health and are usually the link to social agencies that work out of school to support the students.
