We understand that each child is unique, learns in different ways and has the potential for greatness. Within our structured school day and through non-structured experiences, we strive to create a welcoming learning environment and explore every opportunity to identify and nurture the talents and abilities of each child to ensure that each part of the day is an educational experience. It is our belief that children learn best in an environment where they feel comfortable and secure.

Mrs Nerisha Anand, Principal and Founder instils and maintains these consistencies across all levels and facilities at the school and as such we pride ourselves on a reputation where our parents evidently observe positive developments in their children from both an educational and social perspective.
