VISION:
To be the top quality school known for strong emphasis on high morals and global
competence in producing highly educated learners.

MISSION:
To provide quality opportunities for learners to become…
 Excellent in academic and intellect
 Self-directed and lifelong learners
 Good citizens with global awareness and competence
 Respectful of others and with high regard for the natural environment
 High achievers and well-rounded individuals

VALUES:

P= Punctuality E= Excellence A= Adaptability R= RespectL= Leadership

CAMBRIDGE LEARNER’S ATTRIBUTES:

The five attributes are our way of recognizing that students need to develop attitudes and life skills
throughout their education, as well as academic skills, in order to be successful.

Through Cambridge programmes we develop students who are:

 Confident in working with information and ideas – their own and those of others
Cambridge students are confident, secure in their knowledge, unwilling to take things for granted and
ready to take intellectual risks. They are keen to explore and evaluate ideas and arguments in a
structured, critical and analytical way. They are able to communicate and defend views and opinions
as well as respect those of others.

  Responsible for themselves, responsible to and respectful of others
Cambridge students take ownership of their learning, set targets and insist on intellectual integrity.
They are collaborative and supportive. They understand that their actions have impacts on others
and on the environment. They appreciate the importance of culture, context and community.

 Reflective as learners, developing their ability to learn

Cambridge students understand themselves as learners. They are concerned with the processes as well
as the products of their learning and develop the awareness and strategies to be lifelong learners.

 Innovative and equipped for new and future challenges

Cambridge students welcome new challenges and meet them resourcefully, creatively and
imaginatively. They are capable of applying their knowledge and understanding to solve new and
unfamiliar problems. They can adapt flexibly to new situations requiring new ways of thinking.

 Engaged intellectually and socially, ready to make a difference

Cambridge students are alive with curiosity, embody a spirit of enquiry and want to dig more deeply.
They are keen to learn new skills and are receptive to new ideas. They work well independently but
also with others. They are equipped to participate constructively in society and the economy – locally,
nationally and globally.

BY CIE ( Cambridge International Examinations)

Most of the syllabus in each of the subjects is completed by the end of 1st Term of Grade 10.
As a result, a period of one to two months is devoted to rigorous revision in each of the
subjects before the students appear for their FIRST MOCK EXAM in the month of March.
SECOND MOCK EXAM is also conducted in the month of APRIL before the students go on to
appear for the FINAL IGCSE Examination in the month of May.

The two mock examinations are conducted in a pattern identical to the IGCSE Examinations
with respect to the assessment criteria and the mode of evaluation and marking.
