Through a dynamic mix of weekly seminars and enrichment activities, students are encouraged to broaden their horizons, discover new passions, and develop the skills that will serve them well beyond their time at school. Whether you're taking part in a creative project, stepping into a leadership role, or exploring global perspectives through international travel, you'll find countless opportunities to grow - personally, socially, and intellectually.

“The weekly seminar programme and the extensive enrichment and extracurricular programme promote their personal development.”
