Academics, volunteerism and religion, cultural enrichment, sport, and healthy living.
They ought to be curious about the world and passionate about learning.
We make the children aware of this reality and motivate them to engage in a variety of endeavours that improve the environment.
Students can learn more about themselves via service to others through activities including fund raising and charitable giving, first aid, peer mentoring, and prefectship.
Students are encouraged to develop a foundational level of competence in each of the four pillars, but we also anticipate that they will work hard to achieve excellence in at least one of these fields.
