IBO Mission
The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquisitive, knowledgeable and caring young people who help create a better and peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end, the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations for the development of ambitious international education programs subjected to rigorous evaluation. These programs encourage students around the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that others, despite their differences, can also be right.”

The mission of Da Vinci’s High School, or how we embody the IB mission and what we do for our Students.
Da Vinci International High School’s four years of study in an international, culturally diverse learning environment shapes an eloquent, reliable, creative and empathetic Student.
We support our Students in achieving academic success.
- We teach by asking questions, experience and action.
- We deepen the Student’s knowledge through a transdisciplinary approach to teaching. As a result, a young person is able to solve problems independently and creatively, integrating his/her knowledge and skills from different fields of science and art.
- We provide intellectual challenges that develop the Student’s logical and critical thinking and prepare them for university studies and/or careers.
We accompany our Students in the process of becoming responsible and sensitive adults.
- We encourage frequent “stepping into other people’s shoes” – we make Students aware of the value of looking at a problem from a broader perspective, taking into account different points of view.
- We come from different cultures and parts of the world. We talk in an atmosphere of respect for shared values, as well as respect for what makes us different.
- We support Students in the creative development and nurturing of their own talents.
- We help formulate short- and long-term goals so that Students, by consistently achieving them, strengthen their sense of self-esteem and self-efficacy.
At Da Vinci, we promote values that build and strengthen human relationships.
* Respect
* Cross-cultural understanding
* Open communication
* Responsibility
* Integrity
* Empathy
Da Vinci’s High School’s vision, or the goals we strive for.
The goal of our School is to provide Students with the highest quality education according to the requirements and international standards of the IBO, which will be a tool for making informed choices and challenges in adult life.
A graduate of Da Vinci’s High School embodies the qualities of the following:
– Leader of change, aware of his/her contribution to the local and global community.
– Citizen of the world, understanding, respecting and promoting the idea of multiculturalism.
– Tireless and inquisitive learner who sees the value
We learn and grow up in an international educational environment, so we are particularly close to the idea of International Mindedness – an approach full of understanding and respect towards other cultures and nationalities.
At Da Vinci’s High School, we deepen our knowledge of other couturiers, learn foreign languages, celebrate cultural events from different parts of the world, organize thematic events and festivals, and take part in international exchanges.
