High School Guiding Principles (AASSP)

As a High School that is proud of its international community, we strive to provide an education that cherishes but also challenges our students’ attitudes and values. Through unique projects and extra-curricular activities, we aim to provide our students with significant opportunities to lead and to serve.

Our team of teachers believes that the High School program:

• Encourages students to develop in a positive and enthusiastic environment, taking responsibility for their own learning;
  
  
• Develops students' abilities both academic and social, providing each student with the skills necessary to function in a modern, ever changing world;
  
  
• Welcomes and cherishes cultural diversity, appreciating the benefits that an international education can offer;
   
  
• Fosters a desire to always seek the highest standards in both the individual and the community;
  
  
• Follows a rigorous curriculum that harnesses the best aspects of European and North American standards;
  
  
• Emphasizes the core subjects of Math, Science, English and Social Studies whilst offering a   range of Elective subjects in the Humanities, Technology and the Arts;
  
  
• Adapts to the abilities and requirements of every student and, if necessary, develops a modified program according to individual needs;
  
  
• Challenges students to pursue higher education, offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses, as well as giving assistance in SAT preparation and the university application process.
