Our team
Our team is multi-professional, linguistically and culturally diverse, with an enthusiasm for teaching, creativity and development.
Our philosophy
The philosophy of École internationale Gaston Thorn is based on three pillars: democracy, music and the digital world. We are convinced that focusing on these three complementary pillars contributes to a fulfilling development of young people leading them to recognize their ability to act and preparing them for lifelong learning. Within this context, the student is at the center of our philosophy
Democracy is experienced through belonging,
participation, recognition and responsibility.
Why us?
We associate our values of sincerity, respect, responsibility and reflection with our three priorities in the daily life of the school.
Democracy
Learning democracy and living democracy go hand in hand: Growing up in democratic conditions and experiencing respectful interaction as a matter of course is perhaps the most important basis for the development of democratic attitudes and shock-resistant behavioral habits. Our school is committed to strengthening students’ democratic skills through action-oriented educational concepts.
Music
Music promotes community life, the development of a school identity, integration and the joy of creating together. Recognized as an intellectual and cognitive activity, it helps students to develop the ability to recognize patterns and transfer them into their own action. At École internationale Gaston Thorn, music brings the opportunity for each student to participate, to develop self-esteem and empathy.
Digital world
The introduction of digital skills leads students to consider themselves as informed, responsible and aware actors both in society and in the digital world. Children and adolescents become digitally agile by combining the following skills: communication, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and coding. The school supports students in discovering the digital world, first through fun activities, then via more complex ones as they grow up.
