Mission and values

Who are we?

École Internationale des Apprenants, like all schools in Quebec, is committed to the province’s triple mission of educating, socializing, and qualifying its learners. The school fully aligns with this mission, which is deeply outlined in the objectives of Quebec’s educational system.

In addition, the school has a unique mission that arises from the needs of the Muslim Quebecers who founded it. Rooted in Muslim values, this mission emphasizes fundamental freedoms, human rights, brotherhood, mutual support, and concern for the well-being of others—values that are crucial in today’s world.
In an increasingly globalized context, the community has specific expectations of the school:

  • To instill a profound respect for all people, regardless of faith or background;
  • To promote perseverance in acquiring and mastering knowledge across various disciplines;
  • To foster cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork;
  • To encourage fluency in French, English, and Arabic;
  • To nurture a strong sense of critical thinking and moral judgment;
  • To inspire academic excellence, urging students to pursue their goals with passion, integrity, and respect for others within the global IB community.

Students at École Internationale des Apprenants embody the IB mission, actively expressing their opinions, making informed choices, and taking ownership of their learning. The school strives to educate its students to become responsible, active, and peace-loving citizens in an increasingly diverse and complex world. In this context, the school upholds the International Baccalaureate mission statement:

“The International Baccalaureate (IB) aims to develop in young people the intellectual curiosity, knowledge, and sensitivity needed to help build a better, more peaceful world, in a spirit of mutual understanding and intercultural respect.


To this end, the IB works with schools, governments, and international organizations to create stimulating international education programs and rigorous assessment methods.
These programs encourage students worldwide to be lifelong learners, compassionate, and to understand that others, even when different, may also be right.
