Why choose Imperial World School?

Is Imperial World School among the leading schools of the country?

So what is one goal, one difference that IWS is marching towards? The goal of inculcating Global Citizenship in the young minds and hearts of our students. Why Global Citizenship Education? We believe it is the need of the hour, globally.

Technology has built a façade of worldwide interconnectedness in areas of mass communication and knowledge sharing. The globe has shrunk under the skies of superfast travel modes. Astronomers and cosmologists make us stand on new heights, probing into outer space and the hidden mysteries therein. While all the time, around us, on our planet, inequality, aggression, poverty, hate and violence continue erupting, spewing out human misery and shame.

Do we, the drivers of academic institutions and schools, have a role to discharge, a difference to make, in this period of time that threatens the very fabric of being a human?

Imperial World School’s answer is ‘Yes, there’s a role to fulfil, a goal to meet, a response to make.’ And how? IWS joins UNESCO in promoting Global Citizenship Education. What is Global Citizenship Education?

According to UNESCO, Global Citizenship Education is about empowering students with knowledge to better understand world complexities, from the local to the global level.

Global Citizenship Education develops socioemotional fitness by inculcating social inclusion, learning to acknowledge, respect and work with diversity. Global Citizenship Education teaches globally acceptable conduct or behavior conducive to peaceful relationships.

How is Imperial World School promoting Global Citizenship Education?
We have worked out a 4v pronged approach, closely aligned with UNESCO recommendations.

Global Awareness and exploration to World’s Complexity

Explore global challenges and complexities through authentic realworld problems solving activities, critical thinking exercises, and expert insights. Develop a deep understanding of the interconnectedness through analysis of issues and global crises we are facing in the world today. This cultivates a sense of global awareness and responsibility, empowering students to become informed and engaged citizens capable of addressing complex global issues.

DIEJ (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Justice) at IWS

At IWS, we value and respect differences and practice inclusion and equity and justice to make our community and world a better place. Embracing diversity, respecting others’ culture and standing for justice are our practices of social inclusion. As part of this commitment to DEIJ, we’ve partnered with the deaf community, dedicating weekly sessions for our students to learn sign language from a young, accomplished deaf instructor. This initiative fosters empathy, equips students with vital communication skills, and nurtures an inclusive school community, enriching both students and society.

Enhancing globally acceptable social skills

Develop essential and transferable competency and global social skills such as effective communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, empathy, and cultural acceptance, empowering students to thrive in an interconnected world. These skills not only prepare students for success in academic and professional settings but also enable them to navigate and contribute positively to an increasingly diverse and interconnected global society

Change Making Education; Integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

At IWS, we integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into lessons and learning to foster change-making education and promote a sustainable future. The SDGs are a set of 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations to address pressing challenges. IWS is an avenue, where we intentionally promote awareness and practice to achieve these SDGSs through curriculum integration, and authentic project works. So going back to the question We asked right at the beginning. Is Imperial World School among the leading schools of the country? If leading is about creating a critical difference. If leading is about goals to guide human thinking and actions, then yes. Imperial World School is leading by example.
