Our Principles and Practices

1. Proudly Catholic to foster spiritual growth

  • We accompany and guide our students to develop a loving and genuine relationship with Jesus. Students’ spiritual growth is an integral "link in the chain" of our students' journeys; it is based on Catholic values, teachings, reverence, respect, and practices.
  • Students’ understanding of faith and spirituality is deepened through interactions with adults, religious education, liturgical services, retreats and reflection, collective worship, and opportunities to serve others.

2. A caring and affirming educational environment

  • Positive, respectful, collaborative and affirming relationships are at the heart of our school and parish communities. They permeate all our relationships, interactions and learning opportunities.
  • The academic success, wellbeing and happiness of our students drive all our efforts. We aim to ensure that all students fulfil their potential.
  • Families and community members are warmly welcomed and valued; they are considered an integral part of the St. Ignatius extended family.

3. Accessible to all

  • We thrive on our diversity; students benefit from an environment that celebrates the identity and cultural background of each individual, while preserving the unique heritage and culture of the Cayman Islands.
  • While striving to be accessible to the Cayman Islands Catholic community, students from all backgrounds and walks of life are welcomed, valued and respected.
  • We strive to ensure all students are successful in their schooling and to reduce barriers to learning to ensure equitable access to the curriculum.

4. Commitment to excellence and ongoing improvement

  • We strive to ensure that all students benefit from consistent high-quality teaching, through the selection and retention of effective and experienced staff, focused professional development, research and the nurturing of professional learning communities.
  • We engage in ongoing, systematic and rigorous self-evaluation; challenging ourselves and each other to ensure continuous improvement.

5. Enriching and stimulating curriculum

  • We provide a broad, balanced, responsive and relevant curriculum that enriches and stimulates learning and addresses students’ interests and needs.
  • Students are able to pursue their interests through their curricular choices, extra-curricular activities and bespoke support.

6. Learning for the real world

  • We prepare our students to be global citizens in a rapidly-changing and technology-driven world; ensuring they develop digital and entrepreneurial skills, and dispositions for lifelong learning.
  • We ensure that students are empowered to experience a sense of agency in their lives and in their learning; ensuring they take increasing responsibility for their choices as they progress through school.
