Focus High School is a community of lifelong learners that aims to enable children to excel in all aspects of life.

The school provides for students’ holistic development:  encouraging them to be critical and creative thinkers; guiding them to be principled and compassionate; training them for physical health; and preparing them for higher studies and work.

Convinced that education is a means of establishing justice and mercy in the world, Focus High School ensures that its programmes are accessible to all.

Lifelong learning:  all members of our school community seek to improve, learn, and grow throughout their lives

Holistic education:  we strive for the integrated development of children’s intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical aspects of life

Social constructivism:  learning is a community-based process of “constructing, testing and revising mental models of how the world works and it is this process that enables each student to make meaning of their lives and the world around them” (IBO, 2008)

Common, inclusive schooling:  reflecting diversity in society, the school serves male & female children of varied communities, economic backgrounds, and academic abilities

Creative professionalism:  leadership in the school is distributed and devolved, relying on the active collaboration of creative and reflective teachers

The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
