Our Vision

"Attainment of equality in educational opportunities for all pupils and professional development for all staff in our school, with the ultimate goal of enhancing their productive capacity and improving the quality of their lives making them independent and meaningful members of global society".

We will do this by providing a stimulating and structured learning environment that focuses on developing students and staff as lifelong learners, who think critically and creatively.

Our Mission

Our primary mission is to lead students to be lifelong learners: to train them to think both critically and creatively and to equip them with problem-solving skills that will meaningfully translate into their real-life life experiences. Classroom assistants will equip students to think and live independently with healthy minds, and modes of behavior and be able to relate to others easily and confidently.

History

Founded in 1975 with just three children, The Little School has grown into a comprehensive educational institution. By 2005, we added a grade zero to our primary school. In 2012, we moved to our current premises in Pine Valley, featuring 12 initial classrooms, a staff room, an office, and beautiful play and agricultural areas.

Today, we have expanded to 15 classrooms, a library, a computer room, an office, a consulting room, a school hall, and our latest addition: a completion size swimming pool.
