Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”

My educational philosophy is closely aligned with the IB Framework. I value an internationally minded approach, a conceptual curriculum, connections between disciplines and student voice and choice.

Student mental health has become an increasingly important issue, and I believe that schools play a vital role in helping students develop self-awareness and navigate the challenges they encounter in the world.

– David Tigchelaar, Principal of International Sharing School Taguspark

Multicultural

With over 65 nationalities, our multilingual and multicultural student body embodies the spirit of cultural exchange and global citizenship.

Being multicultural means being inclusive, embracing our differences, enriching ourselves through them, and contributing to a shared identity that celebrates what makes us unique.

Hospitality

Showing generosity and companionship towards fellow students and the surrounding community is a crucial skill for our young learners.

Focusing on hospitality helps emphasize the sense of belonging through empowerment and shared resources, developing a welcoming and inclusive school community.

Care

Caring about oneself, caring about others and caring about the environment. The development of Care can be achieved through hands-on activities such as the looking after other living beings or by cultivating ecosystems, planting and harvesting food responsibly and developing a sustainable mindset.

Most importantly, creating an environment where everyone helps, trusts, and looks after each other, creates confidence and empowers students.

Our beliefs at Sharing School

We believe in Learning through Sharing to build a better future

We inspire and respect each student for their individuality, understanding how they gain confidence and comfort in their learning process, sharing and reinforcing our core values.
