Audentes International School

The school is guided by the principles of wisdom, health, and balance, emphasizing that a balance between body and mind is essential. It promotes a learner-centered environment and views the school as a supportive partner to the home, fostering cooperation between parents and teachers to support student development.

The school offers primary and basic education (grades 1–9) based on the national curriculum, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme for gymnasium students, and an e-gymnasium for web-based learning. The curriculum includes English as the first foreign language from grade 1, dance instruction, and optional subjects like informatics and financial literacy in grade 2. From grade 4, students choose a second foreign language (Russian, Spanish, or German). A sports package is available for grades 1–6, providing specialized training in disciplines such as tennis, swimming, athletics, and team sports.

The school aims to develop students who are independent thinkers, creative, open-minded, and possess a positive attitude toward life. Graduates are prepared for independent living, and the school maintains strong ties with alumni who serve as role models for current students. IB Diploma graduates receive an internationally recognized diploma that is also nationally recognized in Estonia.

The school provides a support team including a school nurse, health council, and school psychologist. Additional services include a library, an after-school group (pikapäevarühm), and remedial instruction (tugiõpe). The school also implements the VEPA methodology and participates in the UNESCO Associated Schools Network.

Admissions are open for 1st grade, 2nd–9th grades, the International School (IB) programme, and the e-gymnasium. The 1st-grade admission process includes an individual interview with a teacher followed by group work to assess school readiness. Parents are expected to join the eKool system upon their child's enrollment.

The 2026/2027 academic year includes breaks from October 26–November 1, 2026; December 21, 2026–January 3, 2027; February 22–28, 2027; April 12–18, 2027; and the summer break from June 9–August 31, 2027. Classes typically begin at 8:30 AM.
