Welcome from High School Principal, Monika Howick

Monika HowickOur High School is a diverse, multi-national, and vibrant hub of activity. The fabric of our school weaves together a sense of respect, tolerance, responsibility, and eternal warmth between our students and staff. This is a place where academic curiosity is truly awakened and realised, lifelong friendships are secured, and risk-taking and open-minded inquiry are encouraged.

A student's time in High School involves the consolidation of the years spent acquiring knowledge, understanding viewpoints, honing skills, and reflecting on the people and situations that impact their daily lives. To assist our students in this process and to help them refine these skills and attributes, we offer rigorous programmes that enable students to channel their energies and be successful.

To do this, we provide a strong team of teachers and a range of programmes that bring academic challenge and diversity to a child's curriculum. A student can select from the IB Middle Years Programme (IBMYP), in grades 9 and 10, and the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), Advanced Placement (AP) courses, as well as Honours courses in grades 11 and 12.

In addition to focusing on the academics, we are interested in a student's whole development and, to this end, we provide a host of co-curricular activities including sport, fine arts, community projects, and specific interest clubs. We support the emotional and social development of a child through our Guidance Counsellor and our advisory programme. Our College Counsellor and our IB Co-ordinator assist students in their course selections and the necessary preparation for the next step in their educational career by regularly meeting with students and parents and providing them with expert advice.

Through our offerings, ethos, and collaborative partnership between families and staff, we aim to equip our students to be inquisitive scholars, principled individuals, and effective communicators who are able to navigate in an ever-evolving world.
