Mission

Heritage is committed to providing a respectful learning community for our students and offering a progressive approach to education.

Our Manitoba curriculum challenges students to think and act according to their own highest ability in an environment in which the potential of each student is valued.

Balance is the guiding principle of our school. Challenging academics are coupled with a love of learning, leadership with social responsibility, creativity with moral integrity, and self-esteem with compassion for others. Students are inspired to excel in academics, to be active thinkers, and to be conscientious stewards of the world around them with a balance of discipline and freedom. We believe in producing unstoppable learners who are inspired to make an impact and determined to fulfill their potential and control their futures.

We seek to inspire and motivate our students to: strive for excellence; seek truth; live honorably; act responsibly; and help others so that they can emerge into a wide and challenging environment and assert Egypt’s leadership in the world.

Vision

Heritage International School community is committed to multiple pathways toward excellence and achievement for all students. Our students will imagine, reflect, and innovate within a safe, equitable, and responsive learning environment that develops their academic, social, and emotional growth and holistic well-being. They will develop the critical thinking, creative problem solving, technological and media literacy, communication, and collaboration skills necessary to participate in and contribute to the global world. They will practice the core values of the school: respect, integrity, tolerance, inclusion, and excellence. The school will provide each student with the social and academic skills needed to interact and explore the world as a confident life-long learner.
