We want our students to make logical and well-reasoned judgments, without simply accepting the arguments and conclusions they have been given. With an open mind, high education institution students need to analyze and interpret information, and use logical reasoning to come to conclusions in the classroom and beyond.

SIE expects students to be superb communicators, focusing on the following domains: interpersonal communication, nonverbal communication, written communication, and oral communication. Strong communication skills are central to all academic and professional endeavors, which is why we make it a central pillar of SIE’s academic program.

We want our students to be leaders and understand the importance of teamwork. Students should be active members of the community. As a group, they should work together on a common goal, with each member playing an integral and important part in the activity. This is an essential skill to success in life.

SIE endeavors to create an environment which is conducive to creativity. SIE is a place where students may properly express their talents and develop skills in the arts and music. Teachers of all subjects are encouraged to use both divergent and convergent thinking skills, so that students can use different ways to solve problems.
