About Heritage International School
45/A, Dacia blvd., Chisinau, Moldova, MD
Our Founders’ Vision for the School, The Heritage Hope:
Preparing students for the challenges of the future… A dream of an international school that will give the children of our country the atmosphere of an alternative, progressive, modern educational institution.
Our Belief:
Heritage International School, as an all-through international school, is founded on the belief that children have the right to an education, which will develop and engage each child’s critical thinking, emotional intelligence, resilience, wisdom, and self-expression, preparing such a child to make meaningful contributions to the world, to become future leaders and confident global citizens in their local and global societies.
Our Mission:
At Heritage we create a warm, safe, caring, supportive, and stimulating child-centered learning environment, underpinned by effective school systems and our global values, where all learners are treated with love and respect.
Our school believes in the central importance of promoting understanding and respect for each family’s cultural heritage so that they are confident in both local identity and diversity, as well as a global citizen in the international, interdependent world. Heritage International School’s outstanding teaching and learning engages, challenges, and develops each student through highly qualified, dedicated, experienced, and professional staff.
We believe in the intellectual, emotional, social, physical, digital, and moral development of our students through our education.

Heritage is an international school, proud to be in Moldova and working with our country at a national level but also working with schools and organizations in Moldova and around the globe, using technology confidently, to connect and bring the world into classrooms daily as we prepare our students for the 2020s and beyond.
We are based on an international curriculum, as an English medium school, but also offer Romanian and Russian in the local curriculum alongside.
