Our new century needs and is shaped by extraordinary individuals.

Meeting the challenges and opportunities of an interdependent world requires versatile intellectual competence and uncompromising commitment.

Those who thrive in and contribute to this world will have a solid sense of who they are and respect for who others are—as individuals, as members of a group, as citizens of their nation, and as members of a global community. They will have rigorous academic preparation and a passion to become the best they can be and to help others achieve their best. The mission of Willow International School is to develop such individuals, and we are fully committed to doing so.

At our institution, we are dedicated to creating an enriching educational environment where students can flourish. Our mission is designed to guide our efforts in nurturing a love of learning and fostering the holistic development of every individual.

WIS practices a comprehensive non-discriminatory policy in all its school-administered programs.

We foster an understanding of human values, confidence, and responsibility to society. We aim for academic quality with the understanding that all children have different abilities, skills, and interests, which, if developed and nurtured, will enable them to become mature, self-sufficient, and productive members of their communities. We consider our valuable students to be assets in our school. Students, staff, and parents meet each other with respect, acceptance, and friendship.
