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:
“Anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums ... who find prison so soul-destroying.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
