RUSSIAN GALAXY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL CAMAROON
A new addition has been added to our international network from Cameroon, The Russian Galaxy International School.
Their vision is based on “that every child is a Galaxy, unique and capable of everything. Our role as teachers is to see the child’s strengths and weaknesses and guide them gently through the process of education, making learning interesting and meaningful for the child. We value uniqueness of every child. We motivate them to be independent and responsible learners. We teach them to love and care for each other and our planet. We believe, that discovering the world and learning about Russian culture and traditions will make a great impact on their development, helping them to grow into inquirers, life-time learners, adults, who can look at daily situations from different perspectives”
ISA BOARD MEMBERS 2018
The governing board of ISA continues to be run by volunteers and the work of the organization is carried out by them. ISA is very much, even today, a grass roots organization and because of this it is an attraction to many educators and schools. But the Association is always in need of members who are interested and willing to contribute to the daily work of ISA. - Jim Mc Lellan
