Global Citizenship

Living in a school community of diverse cultures, we place a value on learning and understanding the relationship between rights and duties. We seek to understand the interdependence of sustainable human living in social, economic, environmental and political structures

Language Learning 

We acknowledge that international education requires language learning through which students are able to communicate effectively, develop their cognitive abilities, discover their own identity and share that of others

Experiential and Service Learning 

We provide opportunities for our students to contribute, to collaborate and to learn that they can make a difference

Embracing Diversity 

Embracing cultural difference is a powerful learning experience. Performance is often not measured solely by academic achievement. Individuals have a multiplicity of talents and skills that should be encouraged and celebrated. By exploring controversial topics our students will learn to be at ease with uncertainty.
