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:
“The future is built on brains, not prom court, as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you’d never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
“When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone. When someone else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men I say that intelligence has never saved anyone: and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
