Our Vision

Mission statement
To empower caring, internationally-minded, and independent learners who act responsibly to improve the world around us.
Sustainability
RIS is delighted to become a United Nations school and will be working closely to put the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the very heart of everyday learning. The SDGs are a universal call to action to solve the world’s most pressing issues, presenting the perfect tool to reimagine and reshape the future.
A student-centred approach will aim to develop passionate and confident agents of change, ready to make a difference in the world now and in the future. Additionally, the staff that have been recruited all have this as a focus of their practice, making up a strong and united team in their mission to inspire a community of lifelong learners and agents of positive change.




Entrepreneurs
Learning and becoming entrepreneurs benefits students from all socioeconomic backgrounds, it teaches students to think outside the box and nurtures unconventional talents and skills. Furthermore, it creates opportunity, ensures social justice, instills confidence and stimulates the economy.
At RIS we will encourage and support students and classes to innovate and build businesses, they will be taking action to lead change.
Each Grade will have their own business, they will be expected to arrange finance, run budgets, marketing campaigns, research and Annual General Meetings.
Outdoor
Outdoor education supports emotional, behavioral and intellectual development. Studies show that students who learn outdoors develop: a sense of self, independence, confidence, creativity, decision-making and problem-solving skills, empathy towards others, motor skills, self-discipline and initiative.
RIS is developing a programme across all grades to support this philosophy. It is our intention to have students of all grades partake in a residential trip during the course of the year.





Service
When schools proactively create a culture of service, they make education real, relevant, and rewarding. They also prepare students to become global citizens, and teach skills and knowledge they will need for the future.
Romerike International School recognises that as a community within a community having a role to play in making the world kinder, more considerate and engaging for us all.
The school will actively seek out service opportunities and encourage students, teachers and parents to participate.
