Welcome

Welcome to Selwyn House School. As Principal, it is my privilege to lead a school community that values curiosity, innovation, and excellence in education. The internationally accredited International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) curriculum and strong sense of community creates a foundation for lifelong learning and personal growth.

I am especially proud that we celebrate each student's individuality while instilling the values of Curious, Courageous, Resilient and Inspirational. The values closely align with the IB Learner Profile and remain at the heart of everything we do.

At the completion of Year 8, students are not only extremely prepared for the next steps in their education journey but have a strong understanding of how they learn and who are they are as an individual.

At Selwyn House, we celebrate diversity and create an environment where every student feels valued and inspired to succeed.

I warmly invite you to explore what makes Selwyn House such a special place and look forward to partnering with you on your family’s educational journey.
