International School of Billund

Our mission: By placing PLAY at the heart of education, ISB stimulates every child's natural desire to LEARN. Our Vision: To cultivate a community of lifelong learners who will create a better world with courage, compassion and curiosity. ISB's playful curriculum is built upon the rigorous educational framework of the International Baccalaureate , which provides students with a solid and transferable foundation of academic skills. We are an authorised IB World School for both the Primary and Middle Years Programme. Why play? At ISB we believe play is a core approach to learning…and to life. Playful people of all ages are actively engaged and driven by an internal desire to understand and reshape the world. They test the limits of their abilities without fear of failure, knowing that mistakes are the key to progress and, ultimately, success. They share ideas and make new rules. They laugh. At ISB we believe that by creating a culture of playful learning - by consciously introducing elements of choice, wonder and delight into the classroom - we are nurturing the qualities that will carry our students not only to their next educational destinations, but through life. No matter the paths they choose, ISB graduates will seek knowledge, take risks and care for one another. They will play, and they will learn.
