Message From the Headmaster

Education for the child of the 21st century is not merely an exercise in grades and factual knowledge but the cohesive formation and development of character. How the student deftly deals with the challenges and obstacles of a rapidly changing global society is deeply tied to the skills and perspectives education provides them. A good education is not merely teaching a child to meet challenges but how to grow through them. Empowering students with tools to build self-awareness and an indomitable resolve to experience and conquer life as it comes is the proper form of education.

A good teacher is, at the core, a passionate facilitator dedicated to the most laborious task of widening the horizons of the human mind. At the same time, they are committed to building solid and robust foundations that nourish a child’s total growth. Furthermore, being an educator is not just about instilling specific cardinal values in the students, but meeting them halfway to create positive, vibrant learning environments that foster connection, trust, and confidence. Confident, self-assured young citizens of the world go on to generate tremendous change and alter the course of history. This confidence is always rooted in an education that seeks to empower and correct instead of reprimand and belittle. Confucius reminds us that, ultimately, “Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.” May we continuously empower our students to be confident, self-possessed young citizens who bring positive change to their communities and the world.
