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.
