We encourage high standards and high expectations, and we work to give kids high-quality learning opportunities and environments. We provide kids the chance to decide for themselves, take action, and articulate their own opinions clearly. In addition to being given opportunities to study alongside others and foster inquisitive minds, children are also encouraged to be autonomous learners. Every person is respected, and the variety of their backgrounds is both welcomed and highly valued. Along with tolerance and acceptance of different religions and lifestyles, Christian ideals are emphasised. We have developed strong ties with St. Mary's Church, and we promote children's intellectual, moral, and spiritual development within a Christian atmosphere through worship and school activities. People gain a positive sense of themselves, boost their self-esteem, and are inspired to succeed.
