Welcome from our Founder
Like the great humanist and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, I believe that "only the
children know what they are looking for.” The task of all adults is to guide them to find it.
"The Little Prince" is one of the most beloved and significant books in my life. It reminds
adults of what was important when they were little children, and also manages to teach
us that important things happen here and now, not at some later time. Therefore the
name for this school - Exupery - came naturally.
Elena BuyanovaEIS founder

Our community provides an environment
that inspires our pupils making them ready
for the challenges of tomorrow.
Our teaching philosophy promotes the
growth of the whole pupil, as each pupil
progresses through the school they are
encouraged to tailor their studies to suit
their talents and ambitions.
The opportunities to develop beyond
the classroom provide some of the most
memorable experiences that belonging to
our community can bring. We foster critical
thinking, an intrinsic love of learning and a
fundamental belief in the worth of each
individual.
These elements are key to our mission of
developing, resilient individuals that can
flourish within the ever-changing Global
Community.

Our vision
��������������������������������������� � ���������� � � ����������������������������� ������������������������������� ��������� ����� ���������������
��
From the moment a pupil joins the EIS community, they begin their journey to what’s next. Our
integrated programme of study cultivated our childrens unique passions and inherent strengths and
guides them to succeed academically in school and beyond. Most important, EIS fosters the self
awareness and ambition to choose a school where they will dare to lead, thrive, and be themselves.
We are a school that prides itself on its ability to prepare children for the demands of a Global Society.
Central to our approach is to consider the whole child and to prepare them for life. Whilst there is an
emphasis on academic challenge, curiosity and passion for learning there is also great emphasis
placed on relationships and self-awareness.
Excellent pastoral care and nurturing individuals in our diverse community underpins all that we
do. We are committed to developing boys and girls ensuring they are ready for the modern world;
equipping them with self-confidence, personal responsibility and resilience so that they can have
fulfilling lives and have a positive impact on the lives of others.
Every care is taken to address each pupil as an individual at EIS. Whether a pupil is academically
gifted, a sports star, a champion chess player, has a mild learning difficulty or a physical disability,
they are provided with challenge to ensure they step outside of their comfort zone and are stretched
to exceed their potential.

In the preschool at EIS, play-based learning is at the heart of our
curriculum. Play is important for social, emotional, physical and
mental wellbeing of children. From birth, children learn through
playful interactions with people and their environment. Play is an
essential aspect of a child’s healthy development through which
fundamental knowledge and skills are developed. The development
of these skills support children of all ages to become learners
who know how to ask good questions, set effective goals and
pursue their aspirations with the determination to achieve them.
Preschool Play
Our youngest pupils build a strong foundation for social,
emotional, physical and intellectual growth. A lifetime love of learning
is developed through an outstanding and developmentally
appropriate curriculum informed by the International
Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. Play, discovery,
exploration and highly individualized teacher-learner relationships
are at the core of our Preschool. Most importantly at this young age,
EIS is a nurturing, caring community to welcome your children.
