INTERNATIONALISM IS A PROCESS
It requires us to think of each other as individuals
rather than as members of groups.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW
It develops our minds to think critically and to continually test our assumptions.

OPEN-MINDEDNESS, FLEXIBILITY & CURIOSITY
It enables us to appreciate not only our many differences, but also our common humanity.

At the International School of Düsseldorf (ISD), learning is defined as a dynamic, social process where every child is inspired to flourish, learn for the future, and learn to make a difference.

DEFINITION OF LEARNING

We believe that learning is constructing new understandings, through experience and the acquisition of knowledge and skills.

HIGH-QUALITY LEARNING AT ISD

Learning peaks when participants connect positively,
aim high, and feel secure enough to risk failure.
Most effective when participants are inquisitive, active and engaged in authentic learning tasks that can lead to action.
Happens best when learners collaborate and can evaluate their own thinking and have opportunities
to act on feedback.
