HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL​
Haven of excellence​
​ACADEMIC PHILOSOPHY
We are committed to shifting practices and methodologies from a teacher-directed, content-oriented environment to one that is strongly influenced by student inquiry, creativity and innovation. The role of the teacher becomes even more important in the learning process and changes to greater facilitation, coaching and mentoring. Knowing each student’s interests, talents and skills builds an effective learning partnership that will better enable students to reach their full potential.
Students from Hamptons International School learn in a resource-rich and small class environment. They are encouraged to seek academic challenges and to take risks in their learning. Our expectations that students will learn how to learn and will apply their knowledge in new situations move them beyond simply acquiring information. By developing their own skills and collaborating with others, students build personal qualities of confidence and compassion that will last them a life-time. In a community that celebrates diversity, students share goals and aspirations, learn from each other, seize opportunities and gain different perspectives.
For more detailed information about the programs within the school, please go to the curricullum section on the website.
We are a dynamic learning community that engages our students in a personalized journey of discovery and challenge. Our program develops the core values of self-confidence, self-directed learning, independence and respect for others and the environment. Each day in Hamptons, we celebrate the joy of learning and satisfaction of working with purpose
