Our values

Our international school is characterised by strong humanitarian values and our long history. We commit to following, reviewing and enriching our founding principles in our dedication always to do better than our previous best while remaining true to our mission.

Our values

Founded in 1924 by local educators and civil servants from the League of Nations and the International Labour Organization (ILO), Ecolint is built on the values of respect for all human beings and the promotion of peaceful coexistence amongst all peoples.

Through the years, the school has remained vigilant, always seeking to improve the ways in which these principles are applied within the community.

We make sure to keep our staff and students' well-being at the heart of everything we do by regularly reviewing our policies, procedures and statements.
