Our vision is to create reflective citizens who can identify and understand patterns of human behaviour throughout History. We aim to inspire an awareness of one’s self in relation to the varying cultures, religions and political systems around the world. As a team we endeavour to expand student horizons beyond their immediate surroundings; to imbue empathy, tolerance and respect and to elevate their aspirations for the future. The ambition is to produce well-rounded, confident, proactive, critical thinkers.
