The Dushanbe International School believes that:
• Every student has an individual and a cultural set of experiences, skills and interests which must be considered in the teaching process.
• A diverse student body enriches the school community and provides a wealth of experience and resources.
• A thorough education includes the development of the qualities of compassion, tolerance, respect for the rights of all people, and the skills for peaceful resolution of conflict.
• The school should develop an atmosphere of academic excellence and encourage inquiring and critical thinking.
• Students should strive for excellence in the physical, expressive and creative arts.
• The school is a community, and social awareness, thoughtful interaction and effective communication are fundamental to its well-being.
• Education is most effective when students, parents and the school co-operate.
• Pupils best learn through applied subjects which are taken from real life.
• Each pupil should be treated as an individual and individual differences should be taken into consideration in the educational process.
• Teaching "how and why" is more important than "what", because fostering thinking and self-learning ability in our pupils is vital.
• Pupils in an educational school are lucky because they acquire a universal understanding of diverse cultures and religions.
