Ecolint: A Century of innovation in International Education
Ecolint, the world’s first international school, was founded in the wake of the First World War by visionaries who believed in the power of education for peace. Over a centenary later, that spirit still guides us, as we live by our values of respect, excellence in learning, inclusion and diversity with a community comprising more than 140 nationalities.
At Ecolint, students are at the heart of everything we do. As a not-for-profit school, our mission is to invest in our learners so that they flourish academically and emotionally to become the global leaders of tomorrow.
Throughout our history, Ecolint has been a pioneer in pedagogical innovation: the birthplace of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and the Model United Nations, and more recently, the Ecolint Learner Passport, a tool aimed at holistically recognising student growth, valuing academic achievement as well as lifelong learning, agency, collaboration, and the ability to transfer knowledge and understanding across disciplines in an ever changing environment. Our extensive alumni network is living proof of the transformative power of an Ecolint education, across the globe.
With outstanding academic results, highly qualified faculty, and a holistic approach to learning, we prepare our students to flourish in a complex world, one that needs global citizens who can think critically, act responsibly, embrace diversity, and champion a sustainable future.
We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
