Our mission is to offer learners a balanced education through sustained individual attention within clearly defined parameters of discipline. With shared values, including Christian principles, creative thinking is developed dynamically so that in the adult world they can fulfil their potential. To realise this mission, the school must provide the necessary facilities and infrastructure, recreational areas and educational material as well as well-trained teachers to fulfil the educational tasks.

They provide a foundation for building social responsibility and a sense of belonging through collaboration between students, family, school and the wider community.

We try with our best efforts and through integrity to develop resilience and be the best version of ourselves. Our values encompass ourselves, others and the world around us.
