Our Approach

We believe in foundational learning

We start with a strong foundation of reading and math in the early grades. We believe in all day Kindergarten. We believe in the science of reading. We believe that a vast majority of children can and should be strong readers before Third Grade, which will set them up for future success.

Strong foundations mean more success in school, stronger relationships with teachers and a pathway for future success. Throughout elementary, middle and high school, each child’s well rounded and rigorous education includes the arts, science, technology, a second language, literature, writing in every subject and science. At Sage, inquiry-based learning sparks our students’ curiosity, encourages them to ask questions, and prepares them to solve problems.

We support and care for each other

In addition to supporting academic development, Sage International addresses students’ social, emotional, and physical well-being. We teach our students to be caring and open-minded to the world around them. Our teachers strive to build meaningful relationships with their students and encourage them to take agency over their own learning while giving them the support they need to succeed.

Our schools offer a unique opportunity for students to begin, grow, and thrive within one community and build strong relationships with teachers and peers that will prepare them for a successful future.

The International Baccalaureate at Sage International

The International Baccalaureate encourages students to think critically about the challenges they encounter by asking meaningful questions, engaging in dialogue, and participating actively as global citizens. IB students are expected to engage deeply and thoughtfully with a wide range of topics and disciplines.

At Sage International Schools, we ask our students to be artists, mathematicians, writers, scientists, multilingual communicators, and critical readers—but above all, to be thinkers. As one of our teachers puts it, “You don’t have to be a mathematician. You have to be a thinker.” This belief is at the core of learning at Sage International Schools.

Our approach to the International Baccalaureate reflects our commitment to being forward-thinking. In 1948, a group of educators set out to design an education that would encourage and equip students to help create a more peaceful and better world. At Sage International Schools, this vision is at the heart of our mission.

Learning at Sage means that students are expected to grow as individuals while also developing their abilities as collaborative thinkers and learners. Strong communities are built on shared goals and a willingness to work together to create positive change. Sage International Schools asks all members of its community—students, teachers, and parents/guardians—to embrace this mission and actively contribute to our shared community.
