The School's Philosophy
The school has developed a reputation for its emphasis on individual attention, academic excellence, school spirit and pastoral care. They are known for their close-knit, family-like community where everyone knows everyone. There are small class sizes in both sections of the school and provisions are made for children with learning difficulties and those for whom English is a secondary language. The international school is committed to equality, welcoming students from all faiths and communities.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or philosophy:
“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
