About us

Conviction is the character trait that gives us purpose and direction. With conviction, we can better navigate uncertainties in life with integrity and authenticity. Our curriculum helps students find their own values and beliefs while learning to understand diverse perspectives. Through dialogue and debate, we encourage critical thinking. In case studies and research, we review ethical dilemmas. By studying historical figures who have acted with conviction, we see how conviction can guide us to impact others for good.

Everyone deserves respect; and the more we learn, the better we should be able to honor and care for ourselves and others. We always put our students first, meeting their needs and, in turn, modelling how to serve other people well—whatever our differences. Our courses help students make connections between what they learning and how to meet needs in their local community, whilst collaborative working teaches students how to interact with other people in a healthy way.

There’s more to learning than gaining knowledge. Learning stretches who we are, challenges us, and offers us a fuller life. Studying alongside different people from different cultures isn’t always easy, but it’s an essential part of growing both mind and character. Our teachers strike a careful balance between supporting our students and pushing them academically, whilst our school timetable is designed to provide students with regular moments for reflection.

Learning gives us the knowledge and skills to get out of our comfort zone—and to change our communities for good. Our courses develop leadership qualities in our students through critical and creative thinking, revealing the connection between ‘learning’ and ‘doing’. Regular class and school celebrations honor our students for their achievements and the positive impact they’re having on their classmates, families and communities.
