A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Dear Families and Friends of Verita International School,
Our Secondary School has brought together a top-tier team of professionals to guide our students on their continued educational journey. Verita is committed to offering a comprehensive, university preparatory curriculum which is challenging and engaging and broadens the student’s academic and social-emotional competencies.
We continue our pedagogical commitment to providing education that is not solely about academics. Learning is a continuous and holistic process that engages the whole child. High-quality teaching supports students in their journey to discovering their place in the world and understanding their responsibility to contribute positively. At Verita, students engage in hands-on learning, design, exploration and innovation and are given a broad range of choices, enabling them to pursue their individual passions.
We see students as partners in learning and recognize that students have something to teach us:
- Students can teach us about their future hopes and dreams.
- Students can teach us how they learn best.
- Students can teach us about the conditions that support their learning.
- Students can teach us about their interests and areas of expertise as well as the personal experiences of race or otherness that shape their worldview.
- Students learn by teaching.
By listening to our students, we will help them grow as learners and achieve their goals while supporting their development into global citizens.
In addition to the wide range of academic courses, the Secondary School offers an extensive range of athletic and co-curricular options. Through participation in sports, clubs and activities, students will have the opportunity to grow and learn beyond the classroom, enriching their body of knowledge that supports their continuing education to university and beyond.
We invite you to join our Secondary School for a truly impactful learning adventure.
