International ideology
We perceive the world as an expansive realm of knowledge, where we embrace the cultural and historical values of our own people while also honoring and respecting the values and traditions of other nations.
Ability to communicate effectively
Effective communication involves both imparting and exchanging ideas in a clear and concise way to produce desired results. Our students are taught to be attentive listeners and active thinkers who offer ideas openly and weigh them against the thoughts and ideas of others.
A community of mutual cooperation
We believe that building a community requires coordination, trust, inclusiveness, courtesy, responsibility and a common set of expectations. We encourage students to participate in and integrate into group activities, where students are at the center and work together in a spirit of cooperation to find creative solutions to their problems with the aim of bringing outstanding results.
Balance in life
We understand the importance of a well-rounded education that combines academic subjects, arts, sports and community activities. We nurture physical, social-emotional, creative and intellectual health to nurture confidence in each student through school activities.
Integrity in all actions
We are steadfastly committed to respect, fairness, empathy, and honesty in our actions and words. At the same time, we also focus on nurturing these characteristics in students.
Nurturing leaders
We strive to inspire and develop essential leadership skills along with an educational foundation of excellence and equity. We guide students to work purposefully, strategically, resourcefully and fully identify what is within their control to solve, learn and improve continuously. We operate based on a sense of possibility, perseverance in the face of challenges, ensuring alignment between actions and beliefs, and each individual's willingness to share responsibility for results. Everyone deserves respect for their contributions, their character, the value they bring, their humility and compassion - the qualities of a leader.
Programs
WASS delivers a world-class education, where a world of knowledge is brought into every classroom. We foster a supportive learning environment where every student is encouraged to explore, discover, and embrace lifelong learning.
