The cornerstones of our educational philosophy
We develop the whole individual
An RWIS education places equal value on cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development to provide a holistic education, preparing students for a rapidly changing world. It emphasises character, well-being, and the development of 21st-century competencies, adopting transdisciplinary, student-centred and experiential approaches to learning.
We know that everyone can learn and wants to learn!
We understand that adults and young people alike have different interests, abilities and ambitions. We also believe that all people can and want to learn. This means that both our staff and students at RWIS are appropriately challenged and supported to develop their full potential.
We have high expectations of everyone!
An important driver for RWIS is that we dare to have high expectations of all of our community members. Whether you are a student, family member, teacher or school leader, we expect everyone to pursue their goals with determination, resilience and adaptability, embracing a growth mindset and learning from failures.
