崛起的中國將在世界舞臺上擔(dān)當(dāng)日益重要的角色，西外外國語學(xué)校的使命在于培養(yǎng)適應(yīng)未來全球社會的、融匯中西的世界公民和社會精英，而不止于學(xué)生的升學(xué)深造。為達此目的，本校努力通過優(yōu)質(zhì)的課程體系，在激奮向上、潤化育人的寄宿環(huán)境中，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生應(yīng)對未來社會各種挑戰(zhàn)的能力。西外鼓勵學(xué)生發(fā)展獨立性、批判性、創(chuàng)造性的思維，主動發(fā)展其智力、審美和體魄的潛能，較終體現(xiàn)在對知識和社會進步的貢獻中。厚德崇實，人格至上，并使之滲透在全面育人體系中，乃本校較高追求。

    西外致力于打造一個多元文化共存、不論背景、誠信為本、自尊互尊、關(guān)愛自然的和諧校區(qū)，力求充分發(fā)展個人潛能，超越自我。西外人追求至真至善，我為人人，終身發(fā)展

Xiwai International School Mission Statement  

      Established at a time when China is taking up the challenge to become a leading force on the global stage, Xiwai International School focuses on preparing students not only for higher levels of education, but, more importantly, for an increasingly boundary–less world. The School thus aims to cultivate within each of its students a balance of Chinese wisdom and a global perspective. The School strives to achieve this purpose through the delivery of quality programs which foster excellence in all areas of a student’s development, within a stimulating and nurturing residential environment. Students are encouraged to think independently, creatively and critically, and are motivated to achieve their potential intellectually, artistically, and athletically. We take character building as our School’s ultimate value; it permeates all aspects of Xiwai’s endeavours, and finds its finest expression in the high level of intellectual and social commitment of each member of our community.

      Xiwai International School aims to be a multi-cultural community marked by a sense of integrity, and respect for self, for others, and for the natural environment. It seeks to encourage every one of its members to reach their individual full potential in all aspects, and to see and go beyond themselves, regardless of their background. The Xiwai experience hence nurtures in its members a life-long commitment to develop what is finest in themselves and others, and create the best for others and themselves.
