Our Global Education Plan

Our students are competing for jobs in this global economy with their peers around the world.

Simultaneously, we are seeing in a geo-political sense, the urgent need for people to respect others and co-exist happily with them.

For both these reasons, we believe it is essential to offer our students the chance to see their world, not as tourists, but as active participants in other cultures. We have, therefore, made a strong start on developing our Global Education Plan and our students already have the chance to live in China and New Zealand and attend school there for a period up to three months. Other countries will follow.

We also have partnerships with schools in Spain, France and the UK. In addition we offer many subject-related trips to enrich our students’ experience. We currently offer a ‘Discovery of Math’ trip to Greece; an AP History trip to Europe; a Spanish language trip to Valladolid; and a Grade 11 trip to Changsha, China.
