Students are encouraged to express their opinions and respect those of others. We strive to develop international mindedness in our students, with the hopes of developing global citizens equipped with the understanding and skills necessary to make impactful and ethical contributions. We value the development of the whole child. Our students are supported in their social and emotional development, as well as in their academic progress.
