A day at our school
From morning greetings to afternoon creativity, each day at our school is thoughtfully structured and full of heart.
Our youngest students in ‘preschool class’ experience a structured but less demanding introductory year, to ease into the responsibilities of going to school. As kids grow and progress, expectations gradually increase. Older students take on deeper projects, longer study blocks and help guide their junior friends.
Recesses are filled with play and guided activities and we all eat a home cooked lunch together outdoors, near the pool.
On Fridays, the school closes early, at 12:45, making it easy for families looking to escape the city for a weekend away.
Throughout the year, we build community through shared assemblies and cultural celebrations. We even do school camps in nature twice a year.
Academic approach
Individualised learning
We tailor teaching to meet each student’s level and needs. Whether that means receiving extra support or progressing further in a subject of interest, our small classes and dedicated teachers ensure every child fulfils their potential.
Rooted in values
We focus on academic growth as well as social and emotional well-being. Through shared activities, inclusive classrooms and respectful dialogue, we foster a school environment where every student feels safe, valued and heard.
Beyond the classroom
Learning happens everywhere. From swimming and football to school camps, theatre and robotics, our activities help students grow in confidence, creativity and collaboration. Regular field trips help to broaden our students’ perspectives.
Homework without headaches
When in school, students have access to the best possible resources. That’s why we value a longer school day. Conversely, we believe homework is a tool best used for repetition, not for learning new things. Tired brains don’t need extra headache.
