Our mission is to awaken and draw out each child's individual strength and integrity, allowing them to become a free thinker; a courageous seeker of truth and knowledge; and an empathetic, enthusiastic participant and innovator in local culture and global society.

"Learning to Change the World" is our motto, but what does that mean? To us it has a double meaning. It means we aim to give our students an education that imparts the tools and skills to solve any problem they encounter. It also means that our philosophy is one that sets out to make the world a better place. Lofty ambitions? Perhaps. But once you meet our students, you'll see why we have full confidence in them and our approach that helps to shape them into the thoughtful, conscientious, and unique people they are.
