Our Team
We are proud of our team! Our teachers, teaching assistants, support and management staff, who are from over 15 nationalities, bring a wealth of educational knowledge; drawing from each other’s great qualities and international experiences.
Since we opened our doors in January 2018 we have grown from strength to strength, with the Inspectorate of Education recently calling our school ‘a true pearl within international education’ – both quality assurance and quality culture were validated as ‘good’, the highest score possible.
