Strength, wisdom, integrity and service are the values that we hold dear. They define the character of every employee at St.Willibrord International School. They are the pillars that support our mission and lead us steadfast towards our vision.
Strength
In a world that is ever changing, the children of today face challenges never seen before. As they plot their course through life they will face challenges that are today, unfathomable. Besides the knowledge and skills we nurture in them, they need the strength to relentlessly overcome the hurdles of the future. Hence, at SWIS we seek to:
Wisdom
Wisdom is learnt through experience and reflection. With wisdom as our objective, we encourage children to experience knowledge through research, investigation, listening and visualization. We encourage them to calmly ruminate on newly acquired knowledge to help them make their own inferences and co-relations. Through these methods and encouraging a reflective connection with God, we seek to give our children:
Integrity
A strong inner voice and incorruptible commitment are rare qualities in today’s competitive world. Yet these facets of integrity become the greatest guide through the complexities of adult life. Through critical modules in our curriculum and by setting an example ourselves, we aim to foster the highest standards of integrity in children. Integrity that will later benefit and guide them in several aspects of their life:
Service
An attitude of service built around humility, peace, respect and responsibility is a sure path to a happy life. By providing children opportunities to experience and reciprocate acts kindness, generosity and forgiveness, we hope to kindle a keen sensitivity to these values. We hope that this will help them grow into peaceful, generous, helpful and friendly citizens with a sincere respect for god, elders, nature and society.
