Round Square schools share a commitment to character education and experiential learning built around six themes – our  – International Understanding, Democracy, Environmental Stewardship, Adventure, Leadership and Service.
The Round Square IDEALS are underpinned by twelve  that students explore on their learning journey: inquisitiveness, tenacity, courage, compassion, inventiveness, ability to solve problems, self-awareness, sense of responsibility, appreciation of diversity, commitment to sustainability, communication and team-working skills.
Together these make up the Round Square Discovery Framework.
The IDEALS in our school
At ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ, the Round Square IDEALS are integrated into our vision of being a vibrant, inclusive, learning community. Our curriculum and school programs are designed to ignite academic excellence and character growth. We encourage our students to participate in a range of adventures and personal challenges, both in and out of the classroom, nurturing the school’s core values of kindness, courage, and wisdom. This is also realised through ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ’s commitment to experiential learning initiatives, democratic student bodies and international opportunities, fostering a global mindset, and ensuring our students are ready to make a meaningful contribution for the future.
What being a Round Square school means to us
As a Round Square school, ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ is excited to collaborate with like-minded schools, enhancing our international focus and providing our students with a worldwide perspective. Through collaboration, we aim to offer enriching learning experiences, exchange opportunities, and shared initiatives that underscore our commitment to character, leadership, and service, fostering a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and global citizenship.
Joining Round Square is not about trips and adventures (this is a byproduct). Joining Round Square is a commitment to our vision well into the future – ÄÚÉäÊÓƵ will continue to give students wide-ranging opportunities. Opportunities like tonight, opportunities for students to step out of their comfort zone, to be global thinkers, to have a voice, to care about their world, to be challenged, to show kindness and courage through leadership and service and to seek wisdom.
