Mission:

We educate and lead every student

to be able to think creatively and critically,

to take responsibility for themselves, others, and the world,

and to have the ability to create communities

in the spirit of Christian biblical values.

Vision:

C. S. Lewis Bilingual High School fosters holistic growth. It is a place aimed at
learning, cultivating thinking, innovation, intentional challenge, and support. We
are people who know each other, engage in dialogue, and enjoy collaboration. In
serving our surroundings and country, we discover our personal missions as part
of a larger story.

Motto:
C. S. Lewis Bilingual High School – a school, where we know each other by name.

Quite a significant number of people divide education into “hard” facts and “soft” values. It is said that we need to learn how to count, speak English and decipher magical chemical formulas. They say values are fine, but only as an accessory or a dessert for our Sunday lunch…

We think, however, that values must have the same weight as knowledge or skills, because we also need to learn how to live. In our everyday lives we can observe how knowledge can be fatal without values.

In the spirit of our school mission we believe that “no man is an island” (Thomas Merton), and that to be human means to live in relationships. It is better to build bridges than walls. Our school aims to be a safe space in which diversity is welcome.

Together with the American writer Scott Peck (the author of a very important book on community called Different Drum) we understand community to be a group of people that are, regardless of their different world views or social backgrounds, able to accept and overcome their differences. They are capable of meaningful communication and cooperation on their way towards achieving a common goal, in the knowledge that they are doing so in a safe space.
