The Liberty International School believes in the importance of a quality education to provide the foundation for a student’s future success. We strive to deliver a rich scholastic environment together with the highest institutional standards to meet the social, emotional and cognitive needs of all our students.
We offer a dynamic, yet integrated international curriculum in a healthy environment that is supportive of social and emotional development. The American-inspired curriculum is based on the core subjects of English, mathematics, creative arts, science and health.
Literacy and numeracy are important, very important. However, we also endeavor to impart good moral character, graceful manners, and culturally appropriate social skills. The LIS curriculum is based on the truism that education is a holistic process based on aptitude, a positive attitude, and a desire to develop skills that lead to a habit-forming commitment to lifelong learning.

The Early Advantage
According to York University’s Dr. Ellen Bialystok, children who are introduced to a second language early in life will exhibit advanced reading skills when compared to their monolingual peers. Additionally, a bilingual child typically enjoys the titles of great communicator and excellent problem solver. These skills and attributes typically strengthen independence and contribute to success later in life’s journey.
Methodology
The LIS difference is our focus on actualizing the student-centered approach to teaching. Student-centered methods promote independence of thought as they shift the focus of activity from the teacher to the learners. These methods include active learning which encourages students to solve problems; cooperative learning in which students work in teams to complete projects; and inductive teaching where students are persuaded to confront challenges based on context and what they have formally studied in their coursework.
