As AIchanges the way we work and live, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the most important skills for the future aren’t just technical, they’re human.

In this hyper-connected world, balancing academic demands, social relationships, extracurricular commitments, and personal growth becomesa challenging taskthat requires considerable amount of effort and resilience.

When a student enters our Design workshop for the first time—curious and perhaps a bit unsure—they may not see themselves as a designer. Yet, they already are. Design isn't confined to sketchbooks or software; it begins with the simple act of noticing.

Are you a believer… or a non-believer?

Some people start by subtracting: 230 minus 220 to get 10. Then, 10 multiplied by 0.5 equals 5. Believer status confirmed.

As we approach a key milestone in the academic journey of our Grade 10 students, I am pleased to share the significant strides we have made in streamlining the transition process to Grade 11 and the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).

As the Personal Project Coordinator, one of the most rewarding aspects of my role is observing how the Personal Project allows students to develop essential skills that will benefit them long after they leave school.

The move from primary to secondary school is a big deal—not just for students, but for parents too. The transition isn’t something that happens overnight or in a single day. It’s a journey that stretches across the whole year, and it's one that should be taken very seriously.
