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.
