Round Square is first and foremost an internationally diverse network of 230 like minded schools in 50 countries on six continents. They connect and collaborate to offer world-class programmes and experiences that develop global competence, character and confidence in our students.
Round Square is on a mission to seek out and capture the stories of former pupils of Round Square Schools to find out where they are now, and the impact that they believe their school’s engagement with Round Square has had on the direction their lives have taken since. Their stories are a source of interest and inspiration for our current students so please contact us if you have a story to share!
Enlisted by Round Square President, His Majesty King Constantine, Round Square’s Idealists have been nominated by Round Square’s student body and school membership around the world as individuals whose achievements epitomise the value and spirit of the Round Square IDEALS.
Round Square’s co-ordinating body is a UK registered charity governed by a Board of Trustees, elected by the Round Square Member Schools. The Board combines specialist expertise with representation from Round Square’s Regions and Stakeholder Groups by a mix of Heads of School, Governors, Teachers and Alumni.
The work of the Round Square Community is supported and co-ordinated through the Worldwide Management Team, which reports to the Board of Trustees through the Chief Executive. Working from Round Square’s registered office in Windsor in the UK, the Team combines specialist support roles with on-the-ground co-ordination in the territories in which Round Square schools are based.
Round Square owes much to the heritage of Kurt Hahn, a German educator and a key figure in the development of experiential education. He believed that students could only really understand life by experiencing it in many exciting and challenging ways, and to this day his philosophies have far-reaching international influence that has stood the test of time.
