What being a Round Square school means to us
Round Square helps our students to develop global understanding from an early age. Exchanges, conferences and service projects send them out into the world so that they are able to experience internationalism first hand, thereby widening their horizons.
Yearly evaluations are a great opportunity to check up on ourselves and assure us that we are on track in our aim to educate young people to be well rounded citizens who are environmentally aware and responsible for themselves, their peers and who will become tomorrow’s leaders.
