Caring for our future. Nurturing them to nurture our environment.

Our philosophy

Our communication is peaceful. We believe this will empower children to make constructive and ethical choices in their lives as responsible citizens. The spirit of caring and kindness reaches out into our wider community and incorporates us caring and protecting our physical environment. We value a respectful and mindful attitude towards our bodies, our island and our planet. We support fair-trade and organic foods and are active recyclers.

We acknowledge that our children will face many challenges and we support them to be active problem solvers and critical thinkers that come up with innovative solutions. We help children to help themselves. We view Nature as a teacher and seek to provide a programme that allows children to connect with nature in a meaningful and consistent way by offering our Bush School programme to our older children. We practice active review and are open to change and new ideas.
