Our philosophy
Success for each student
The International Education Faculty believes that each student has the ability to succeed as long as the student is given the proper opportunity and resources. We offer small class sizes and individual teacher time for each student. Education and learning are unique for every student, which is why at the International Education Faculty our students enjoy small classes and a low teacher to student ratio. This combination provides an ideal learning environment where each student is free to develop self esteem and confidence in their learning. This also allows each teacher to create individualized lesson plans for each student that will allow each student to advance at their own pace. This keeps students enthusiastic, motivated, and eager to learn. The International Education Faculty believes that every student should have the opportunity to pursue higher education and works to ensure that each and every student achieves their educational goals.
Global thinking
In our rigorously developing world we must think globally. A careful analysis of many areas of study would reveal that there exists much interconnection and overlap. The beauty of knowing how to spot these similarities gives us the opportunity to see the world in a different light, which in turn allows us to solve difficult problems and make tough decisions. Hence, we teach our students to see the patterns, connections, and similarities in everything they pursue. This results in a more complete and profound understanding of topics covered in class and their application to the real world. To achieve this multifaceted goal, we designed programs that stem from the students’ interest, and integrate knowledge across the different strands of the curriculum. The result is a carefully designed program where problem solving, brilliancy, creativity, and academic excellence are fostered.
