Leonardo da Vinci, the proficient International Baccalaureate (IB) Learner and a Renaissance education share many similar characteristics. We emphasise the importance of curiosity in making connections, in critical thinking, effective communication, and a broad approach that stimulates and delivers great outcomes. We are inspired by da Vinci’s inventive spirit and imagination.
By blending ethical thinking and academic integrity, self-reflection, empathy and cultural understanding in coherent frameworks, we honour the genius of da Vinci and nurture our Renaissance Learners.
Our curriculum is stretched beyond traditional academic subjects to embrace the arts, sciences, and humanities, providing students with a holistic education, fostering their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth while also cultivating a deep appreciation for curiosity, creativity, and the values of our shared humanity.
We ignite a lifelong passion for learning and creativity in our students, preparing them to make a difference and even lifelong contributions in their communities and beyond.
