ELC is an international oriented institute providing its members with a development chance. The members comprise international schools, individuals engaged in international education and (international) educational organisations. ELC engages itself in knowledge enhancement on global citizenship. ELC thrives to reach its goal through acquiring, creating, developing, managing, accrediting, inspecting, lending and licensing knowledge on global education and global citizenship. ELC’s mission is to provide access to globally recognised, proven innovative and locally customized knowledge products and services. The key means to reach global citizenship is training and education. ELC is a global citizenship awareness and enhancement body with a commitment to international education to reach this awareness and enhancement. ELC provides its services to elementary and secondary schools, higher education institutions and individuals with a focus on international education. All these have the following character treats in common:

the desire to enhance knowledge, to foster skills and enable abilities to pursue ones life as global citizens; and a commitment to quality standards in education.

To achieve this goal, our member schools will include international and intercultural awareness into their curriculum. Thus a positive attitude and understanding of being a global citizen will nurture within the student body. This attitude and understanding will be the base for further studies and career perspectives. Elementary and secondary school members must commit their yearly educational cycle to a periodical (re-) accreditation process to safeguard the student upbringing to global citizen.
