About the Company

We believe in placing the student at the center of their own education and that learning is a life-long experience. Students are encouraged to take some responsibility for their own learning and to support others in their efforts. Our teachers lead by example and are reflective practitioners. We have an inclusive community approach to education. Students, teachers and parents are given the opportunity to play their part in the decision making processes at appropriate times.

Together as a learning community we will continue to set and achieve the high standards that are expected of us. We empower our students to exceed their potential and help them become responsible global citizens who understand and respect multicultural diversity. Our students actively learn from the experience of doing real tasks beyond the classroom. Students’ involvement in our Extracurricular Activities (ECA) program increases as they progress through the Primary and Secondary schools. These personal development activities increase their self-awareness, help develop new skills and require them to engage with issues within our community. We promote a culture of self-awareness and personal development, and understand the importance of developing the whole person.
