Which promote a robust STEAM based-curriculum.

Students are able to access the curriculum, which is referred to as Curriculum X. Curriculum X or the reasons as to why a theme, topic or subject should be explored is built on a set of Pathways to Learning, which takes places either in the living or non-living learning ecosystems. The living learning ecosystem is the classroom environment and interactions with humans and the non-living learning ecosystem is exhibited through the use of digital learning technology platforms.

The Pathways of Learning provide students with two Levels of Access to Mastery: 1. Core/ Grounding; and, 2. Advanced/ Expanding. Each Level of Access to Mastery encompasses four Phases of Learning: 1. Acquiring; 2. Associating; 3. Stabilizing; and, 4. Mastering.

This framework assists educators to develop meaningful learning experiences, while being able to gauge students’ progress along their learning journey, leading to authentic assessment outcomes.

Live to Give

"It is through giving that we receive"

— St. Francis of Assisi

local, national and global communities. We are all guardians of this unique environment we call planet Earth, and the embedded ethos is that we must each take our responsibility seriously to have the greatest impact.

Live-to-Give is not only about the giving of tangible things, but also encompasses how we interact with each other on a day-to-day basis. How we treat others with whom we come in contact. In order to achieve this aim, an enormous level of trust is placed in each member of our community at the outset and to remind us, we have a “Codicem Conductum” or a Code of Conduct.

“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

— Ernest Hemingway

Being principled

Code of Conduct

Being principled means that one must always maintain a high level of integrity, even in the face of adversity.

Being principled ensures that the core values of the Organization and the school are well embedded in its culture and are based on trust, honesty, dignity, and respect for all.

Our Codicem Conductum articulates what we cherish from each person within our organization. This includes but is not limited to students, parents, teachers, administrative staff, bus drivers, food service workers and security personnel. It highlights our responsibilities to each other.
