Vision & Values
Thriving Today, Changing Tomorrow
Our mission is to inspire our students to learn through continuous inquiry, empowering them with the skills, knowledge, courage and optimism to become caring, active, lifelong learners who enhance the lives of others.
Our vision is clear, 'Thriving Today, Changing Tomorrow.' Every day, we work to instill the values that will help our students become curious, resilient, courageous and inspirational. These values guide our school community and help shape personal and academic growth.
By nurturing these values, we help our students embrace the IB Learner Profile, building on the foundation set by the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) curriculum.
