Celebrating Diversity at ISP
At the International School of Paris we recognize that each of us is a cultural being. Underpinning our beliefs is the IB Learner Profile.
- We work together, take risks and inquire into our own and other cultures.
- We think about, and gain knowledge about, the world around us.
- We find ways to communicate our cultural learning.
- We are open minded, reflective and caring about all cultures.
- We strive to become truly balanced and principled global citizens.
At ISP, we value the similarities and differences each person's cultural heritage brings to our lives. We celebrate and share our diversity on a daily basis both inside and outside the classroom in order to enrich the learning experience for our students and the whole school community.
We believe that culture is broad and complex. We understand that cultural identity comes from traits and values learned through membership in micro-cultures based on ethnic origin, religion, gender, age, class, native language, geographical region, and other factors. For us, culture is much more than a study of food, fashion, folklore, festivals and fame.
Cultural Celebrations
We bring cultural celebrations into ISP in a variety of ways. We welcome guest speakers, parents and other family members to come into class to share their experiences and traditions. The Primary School has scheduled ‘international assemblies’. We host shared lunches and encourage students to organize cultural celebrations. We share songs, stories and drama from around the world. Once a year both Primary School and Secondary School celebrate
'International Day', turning their campus into ‘the world’.
