Mission
Our mission is to equip students with the skills essential to achieve academic excellence and instill in them the moral values needed to become responsible individuals through the guidance of devoted role model educators.

Our motto is “Committed to Excellence in Education.”

• In a world of technological and moral turbulence, keeping abreast of the changes is a challenge. Our vision at Salahaldin International School (SIS) is to guide and support students, not only to cope with these changes but to embrace them.
• Our focus at SIS is on our students. We endeavor to provide a balanced education that encompasses ‘academic excellence on the one hand and ‘moral and ethical values on the other. Thus our students acquire the tools and ethos necessary to soar through this challenging life with the benefit of both wings
• Our balanced system of pedagogy is implemented by our caring, competent staff who are dedicated to our students’ academic excellence and present themselves as role models to the children.
• Education is not only in the curriculum, as changes and developments in curriculum alone do not guarantee social, emotional, or academic growth. It is the interaction between children and their peers and the relationship between the parents and the teachers that fosters salutary growth and salubrious development in the child, which is the basis of beneficial education. At SIS, such relationships are nurturing, supporting, and caring.
• The establishment of close relationships with parents is of the utmost value to our school culture, and it plays an important role in the successful education of our students. Through parents’ active support, our children feel encouraged to achieve their best at home and school.
