Our Educational Philosophy

We believe teaching skills, such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and effective communication, equips students for success in whatever they do beyond school.

 

We believe education should be dynamic, alive and relevant to students.

 

Our teaching style and curriculum choices reflect these beliefs. We aim to provide a creative, challenging and comprehensive education with a hands-on, problem solving approach, becoming increasingly structured in the upper levels to prepare the students for continued success.

We create lessons that have students moving, researching, collaborating and devising creative solutions to problems. We seek to make each student's educational experience as personal as possible, and to motivate and equip students of all abilities to reach their full potential. Personal responsibility is encouraged and many opportunities for character development are pursued.
