School vision

The vision of the school is the beacon of school life. It determines where we are headed, it is the source of our priorities and covers the goals we have set for ourselves. For the current form of the vision, which was created during the 20th anniversary of the school's founding, we all raised our hands, regardless of whether we are students, teachers, parents, or other school employees. Sunny Canadian International School wants to encourage all its students to be open to inspiring stimulus and to raise them to be responsible citizens of a high moral level who achieve success in education and self-realization with the help of their language skills.

Our vision is an expression of the school's DNA. We are a fully bilingual school, from the first grade to the fourth year of grammar school we study professional subjects in English. We are performance-oriented, whether in the field of knowledge or modern academic skills. Academic excellence is therefore a self-evident goal across subjects and levels of the school.

However, the most important thing for us is the iconic atmosphere of the school, which is an alchemy of openness, good mood and mutual respect.

Great spirit and bilingual academic excellence

The mission of the school

If the vision is the expression of the school's ideal of the future, the school's mission is a set of steps or tools that will lead us to that future. Sunny Canadian International School inspires every student to get involved in the school process in a quality way and to develop not only knowledge, but also abilities and skills, which they can easily and happily integrate into the life of society, while at the same time living in harmony with the environment and protecting it.

We create a culture of open feedback and inspiring sharing. We trained the entire school team in formative feedback and responsive teaching, and we build on this experience in our work. We provide descriptive, useful and objective feedback. We learn to accept it, respond to it correctly and, above all, use it to improve our work. We like to share examples of good practice and inspire each other.

We respect each other, trust each other and proactively take care of our well-being. We deal with each other in a civilized manner, with respect, we are partners and we proactively provide support to others. We systematically create space for our mental health and well-being.

We work with commitment and joy, we like to improve, we set measurable goals and we regularly reflect on the results of our work. We cooperate with renowned institutions to measure work results. We compare our results over time and present them publicly.

We systematically support individual gifts and talents. We create an environment for them in and out of class, have a student internship program, organize gifted support groups and guide students to excellence in academic skills across subjects.

We love learning outdoors, playing sports, researching and exploring the world around us because we want to protect and preserve its diversity for future generations.
