MISSION STATEMENT
The Benghazi European School aims to offer the highest standards of education at secondary school level and to undertake to prepare students for entry into internationally accepted educational programmes.
PHILOSOPHY
The Benghazi European School believes in the importance of the personal development of its students so that they become life-long learners, effective communicators and responsible citizens prepared for an active life in the service of their community. We strongly believe that effort leads to success.
The school sets out to fulfill its Mission as follows
· By offering a challenging educational programme to help students understand how the knowledge gained in the different subjects is interrelated and how this knowledge is also linked to the real world, thus giving its students an integrated education.
· By encouraging its students to affirm their identity and to be proud of their own culture while they understand, appreciate and respect the value of other very different cultures
· By offering, at secondary school level an international, integrated educational programme. This programme is based on the guidance provided by the BES.
· By ensuring that the content of our educational programme is broadly based on the international syllabus of Edexcel IGCSE and Key Stages 3 and 4 national curriculum, with international guidelines.
· By using English as the main language of instruction; the programme also provides a second language at which a high level of proficiency is expected.
· By taking advantage in the curriculum of the cultural diversity present at the school to develop an understanding and respect for other cultures. The school considers its students who all come from different ethnic and religious backgrounds to be an asset. Students, parents and staff meet and interact with mutual respect and friendship.
· By paying special attention to the personal development of students in fostering respectful attitudes, communication skills, a sense of responsibility and discipline in their education and in their lives.
· By pursuing academic excellence by providing up-to-date teaching and reference materials, laboratory equipment and modern teaching techniques.
· By focusing on training and development programmes for all teachers to keep abreast of new teaching techniques.
· By using continuous assessment and reporting of students’ performance during the academic year in order to provide guidance and supplementary teaching if the students need it. Examinations provide students with the techniques they will need later on in life.
