Our Promise:

We are a caring community, following each child's path to a strong academic, physical and social foundation, nurturing responsible world citizens and life long learners.

Our Beliefs:

We believe in the dignity and worth of each student, and recognize the importance of his/her responsibility to his/her fellow man in the world community.

We believe that all youth, of all races, cultures and creeds, should have equal opportunity for education consistent with their individual capabilities and with their personal and social needs.

We believe that change is a constant factor in life. Therefore, education should encourage in students the development of personal values and thinking processes which will facilitate their intelligent adaptability to a changing society.

We believe that learning is an unbroken activity, continued throughout an individual's life span. Therefore, education should foster independent thinking, exploration and experimentation as a life-long process.

Our Priorities:

Guided by this philosophy, we shall:

Develop in each student a mastery of the skills of communication and learning.

Develop responsible individuals who posses the ability to think clearly, logically and independently as participating members of a self-governing society.

Develop in each student an understanding and appreciation of cultural, social, scientific, economic and political ideas and practices in an international context.

Provide physical and health education enabling the student to live an energetic, wholesome and productive life.

Provide the opportunity for each student to develop and to appreciate ethical and cultural values, including those of the host country of Lesotho.

Provide a program of student activities designed to develop competent, self-directed, and responsible social interaction in an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation.

Develop in each student interests, skills, and attitudes, which contribute to the worthy use of leisure time.

Provide the essential elements of an American Curriculum within an international context.

Develop in each child the respect for and acceptance of persons of all races, cultures, and creeds.
