Philosophy
Similar to Outward Bound, Round Square schools share an educational philosophy that supports the growth of the "whole person". This philosophy is based upon the Round Square "IDEALS" (a backronym that represents the six pillars around which Round Square schools function):
- Internationalism
- Democracy
- Environment
- Adventure
- Leadership
- Service
The common goal is to develop every student into a whole person through academic, physical, cultural and spiritual experiences.
There are more than 60 Round Square schools located around the globe in Africa, Australasia, Continental Europe, India, the Middle East, North America, South America, and the United Kingdom.
