Each of our eight schools is dedicated to the development of seven global competencies, which prepare students for the future: we develop lifelong learning, autonomy, the ability to interact with the world and with others in harmony with available resources, in order to develop transdisciplinary and multilingual thinking. In this way, we carry out our mission, which is to educate students to be global citizens with the capacity and courage to create a just and joyful tomorrow together. Ecolint is founded on strong humanitarian values and boasts a long history of pedagogical innovation, including the creation of the United Nations system-based model and the International Baccalaureate. We have around 1250 employees representing over 60 nationalities, united in a single core of dynamic professionals committed to our mission.
