The school also boasts a student population representing more than half the countries in the world, and it is this mosaic of learners that promotes the idea captured in the words penned by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.” The core elements of its philosophy focus on empathy, responsibility, honesty, confidence, respect, and courage.
