| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
We believe that children learn best when they feel safe and they feel safest when they are surrounded by adults they can trust. Therefore we keep our class sizes down and encourage our teachers to get to know as many students from other classes as possible. This creates an extended family-like atmosphere that kids can thrive in. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Naturally, an education must be inspirational and grounded in a common set of democratic values, and thanks to the IB programs and our dedicated staff who implement the programs every day, we have just that. The IB’s core values derive from the belief that students should be taught to be global citizens, capable of participating in and changing our interconnected democratic societies for the better. An important part of that education is encouraging students to become independent thinkers capable of collaborating with others to enact meaningful and positive change in the communities they are a part of. Our hope is that they will embody the principles and qualities we aim to instill in them and bring it with them out into the world. |
