About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
IOANID International High School was opened in 2018, with a different educational approach, centered on the real needs of the today’s teenagers. Our team understands that high school students are not receptive to passive learning, which is a typical nowadays teaching method, therefore our main objective is to create some learning experiences that appeal to students. Teaching is interactive, in an engaging manner, exposing the learners to teaching experiences, practical workshops, avoiding repetitive worksheets designed in a traditional teaching method. Each learning space is transformed into a laboratory which leads the students in the middle of the subject taught through technology: video projectors, interactive boards, modular furniture and teaching materials as practical as possible. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
In so doing, students are becoming familiar with the information of each subject from the curricula, without overlooking, however, their personal development, taking into consideration that they are at the age when they are shaping their personality and start to place themselves professionally. Our mission is to motivate high school students, balancing them and preparing them as future grown-ups in an institution where the static traditional process becomes dynamic and fascinating. |
