Our Mission
We provide students with a learning environment that recognises children learn best when engaged with real world, authentic tasks, involving problem solving and collaboration with peers on interdisciplinary, research based project work – where the teacher’s role includes that of coach and facilitator and where students are empowered to take responsibility for their learning.
Our academic programme at LLIS is built upon the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), an inquiry-based and transdisciplinary framework designed for students aged 3 to 12. This student-centered approach encourages children to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners by exploring relevant global issues and making meaningful connections across all subject areas. Through purposeful inquiry, we empower students to take ownership of their learning, developing essential skills and the attributes of the IB Learner Profile to make a positive difference in their communities and the world.

Learn
We believe that real learning happens when students are deeply engaged with the world around them. Our mission is to create a vibrant environment where children learn best by tackling real-world, authentic tasks, collaborating on interdisciplinary, research-based projects. Our teachers are their coaches and facilitators, empowering students to take responsibility for their own learning journeys.
​
LLIS brims with optimism, excitement, and challenge every single day. Here, students and teachers see each day as a purposeful journey, where intellectual engagement, character building and a strong connection to the outside world are our top priorities.
​
Such learning does not happen just through books; it's about exploring the rich tapestry of cultures and perspectives that make our world so amazing. We're building bridges of understanding and respect through our collaboratively planned units of inquiry. Think of our students as international peacemakers and diplomats in training, learning to connect with people and communities near and far.
At LLIS, while English serves as our primary language of instruction, we deeply value and foster multilingualism, recognizing it as crucial for developing internationally-minded and empathetic learners. We actively celebrate the linguistic diversity of our school community, ensuring that students' mother tongues are respected and seen as valuable assets that enhance cognitive development and cultural identity. Furthermore, we are committed to nurturing a deep respect for the Lao language and culture, integrating it meaningfully into our daily learning experiences to connect students authentically with our host country and its rich heritage.
