ideals, we are striving to continue our commitment to fostering positive
attitudes that lay the foundation for enabling children to become global

courage to take risks, applying what they have learned and making appropriate
decisions and choices

situation demands
Creativity: being creative and imaginative in their thinking and in their
approach to problems and dilemmas
Curiosity: being curious about the nature of learning and of the world, its
people and cultures

order to understand his/her thoughts, reasoning and emotions

based on reasoned principles and being able to defend their judgements
Integrity: having integrity and a firm sense of fairness and honesty
