 We are committed to a child-centered curriculum that addresses the needs of students and facilitates their transfer to other national and international schools. Our curriculum strives to
incorporate the experiences, culture, and perspectives of our students. We consider the integral development of the individual and encourage curiosity, reflection, and questioning.

We foster an understanding of human values, confidence, and responsibility to society. We aim for academic quality with the understanding that all children have different abilities, skills, and interests, which, if developed and nurtured, will enable them to become mature, self-sufficient, and productive members of their communities. We consider our valuable students to be assets in our school. Students, staff, and parents meet each other with respect, acceptance, and friendship.
