中信山语湖双语国际学校的使命
致力于以严谨的学术性规划，培养博学、恭敬、仁爱，兼具中国传统美德与国际视野，符合国际化需求的优秀学生。

学校校训
中信山语湖双语国际学校校训：做有中国灵魂，有世界眼光，有国际情怀的人。
具体而言，中信山语湖双语国际学校的学生既要讲求道义，有自己高贵的民族灵魂生命，又要能尊重他人，有世界眼光和境界。他们以荣誉、责任、自律、博爱为精神取向，既有国际情怀、通晓国际规则，掌握国际专业前沿，是充满激情的世界公民，也是有思想，有民族责任心和使命感的国内精英。他们知道自己是中国人也是世界人！

办学理念
中信山语湖双语国际学校的办学理念是：尊重生命，对学生的一生发展负责！
我们始终坚信：每位教师，每个孩子都是一个个鲜活的生命体，在他们的胸腔里都藏着一颗高贵而有尊严的心。敬畏生命的神奇和美好！唤醒生命的勃发与向上！使每个生命都能得以舒展，都能得到最大限度的开发，都能顺性成长。
一个学校只有对每位教师、每位学生，即对个体生命的独特性、唯一性真正地赋予尊重，才能对学生的一生发展负责，才有资格做真教育。

办学初衷
我们认为低龄孩子不能出国，否则会混淆自己的身份。孩子们必须从小搞清楚“我是谁？”。认同自己的身份才会有自信。况且国际化也不应该是英语化、美国化，更不是在校名上挂个什么双语、国际等字眼的表面化。国际化应该是真正符合人类生长的自然规律，是最优秀、最标准，但又是多元的、全世界都认可的教育。
