History and Administration

The school's motto is "Abeunt Studia in Mores" in Latin, meaning "Education becomes the manners, or virtues of life".

The school is split into three parts: the Early Learning Centre (Pre-K), the Junior School (Grades K-6) and the Upper School (Grades 7-12). The Upper School is further divided into the Middle (Grades 7-9) and Senior School (Grades 10-12). An Early Learning Center for pre kindergarten students was established in 2010. Due to its reputation as a private school, it is one of the highly tuitioned schools in the area.
