Our School is part of the Inspired Education Group
Inspired Education is the leading global group of premium schools, with over 119 premium private schools spanning six continents providing premium education to over 85,000 students ensuring they all receive a first-class learning experience from Kindergarten to Year 13.
We offer you the chance to work/live in an exciting new location, collaborate with passionate educators, develop your skills, and grow in a role that inspires you.
The school consists of small classes, one class per grade. Our IB programmes provide each student with opportunities to explore, inquire and develop confidence as well as equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and understanding necessary for the 21st century. Our school is based in a purpose-built facility which includes well-designed classrooms, a spacious indoor Gymnasium, a Drama studio, Libraries and two Science labs with on-going developments of the external facilities.
We are an International Baccalaureate World School delivering all three programmes: Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme.
Our classrooms are exciting centres of collaborative learning and this extends to the philosophy and vision of relations between teachers and families. We believe that collaboration with families is of particular importance and our teachers interact comfortably and confidently with parents as well as being imaginative and flexible classroom practitioners. We expect high standards in teaching and learning with special awareness of language acquisition and literacy since the majority of students do not have English as their mother tongue.
