Our Mission

“A Senegalese poet said ‘in the end we will conserve only what we love. We love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.’ We must learn about other cultures in order to understand, in order to love, and in order to preserve our common world heritage.”

—Yo Yo Ma, White House Conference on Culture and Diplomacy

Our educational philosophy is grounded in the belief that an inquiry based international education should be offered to all members of our community so that together, we can create a learning community that fulfills the mission for education set forth by the state of Idaho.

Vision:
To create global citizens by equipping our students with the ability to think across disciplines and international boundaries, and inspire them to live extraordinary lives.

Mission:
Sage aims to develop students who are citizens of the world. We do this by employing best practices from data collected on elementary and middle school instruction from around the globe. Sage International School of Boise is a community structured around an international inquiry based curriculum that cultivates intellectual rigor, curiosity, cultural understanding, sustainable living and passionate human beings that approach the world with intention, ready to participate and engage in local and global issues.
