Many, if not most, international schools include similar language in mission and/or vision statements. What does this mean in the daily life of a student and of a school? How do we move towards creating a sustainable culture of service that has value and purpose for all stakeholders and leads to the outcomes we describe? Together, let’s identify essential elements for creating a recognizable and viable approach to service.
