Big Ideas
Daphne High School
And
IB
At our heart we are motivated by a mission to create a better
world through education.
We promote intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of life in the 21st century.
We aim to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through
intercultural understanding and respect.
We encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate, and
lifelong learners who understand that other
people, with their differences matter and can
be right.
