Values and vision

Think Academy is committed to focusing on high expectations, individual academic success and to creating a community which values respect and responsibility. It aims for its courses to be academic, engaging, and standards-based, with a focus on the learner. The school is also keen to ensure that all its staff will be highly qualified and caring instructors who are attentive to the educational, cultural, and physical needs of students. Parents are also expected to be positive, supporting members of the school community. Furthermore, students are expected to be respectful, self-disciplined, productive citizens who think critically, make informed decisions and act ethically. Philosophically, Think International Academy believes that all its students have individual strengths and talents. It is also believed that children who are immersed in a bilingual environment at an early age will be much more capable of learning the rudiments of another language than if they were to start later. Think International Academy has pledged that it will ensure that students set high standards for themselves and, in doing so, will excel.
