Our Junior program, Grades 7 to 9, provides an environment where students develop an ethic of learning and discovery using methods such as inquiry, research and debate providing students with a firm foundation for their senior years.

The three-year Senior High School program, Grades 10 to 12, is a rigorous, credit-based program that thoroughly prepares students for post-secondary education.

We live in a global community. To be a vital, active member of this community each student will need to develop skills to communicate effectively in a number of languages, to appreciate the uniqueness and diversity of all cultures and to be able to live and work collaboratively with others. Our goal is to ensure that our graduates are fully prepared, culturally aware, responsible citizens who have highly developed international understanding, superior communication skills and an excellent command of the English language.
