Our primary concern is the achievement of high standards and the delivery of quality education in all aspects, and at every level; we are therefore committed to a rigorous academic programme leading to university entrance. Alongside this, the School seeks to nurture in its students a true desire to learn, and the ability to study within an environment that is caring and friendly, but orderly and firm, where relationships between students and teachers are based on mutual trust and respect. Pastoral care of our students is given a high priority.

UNIVERSITY
PLACEMENT
AIMING HIGH
Students in Years 12 and 13 receive tailored support from staff and Academic Advisers, including guidance on university applications, interviews, and career planning. Most graduates progress to global universities with their School Leaving Certificate (Apolytirion), and all students and alumni are encouraged to seek our support when making future plans.
Being able to trust and talk to teachers about advice and guidance in subjects, but life as well, is the best testament to your passion as teachers, and greatness as individuals. Your belief in our capabilities has been the strongest foundation for us to grow and learn. So, thank you for working so hard to help us make these years a success.
