Philosophy

The Mount Sinai experience enables boys and girls to become fulfilled individuals and responsible citizens. Each pupil has a unique potential for achievement and the school aims to provide an ordered community with facilities and ethos to instruct, encourage and inspire pupils to develop their own talents and play a full part in society. Strong emphasis is placed on rigour in academic achievement. Great store is also placed on the cultivation of interests in fields as diverse as drama, media, IT, individual and team sports. Moral and spiritual awareness, high personal standards and good manners are cultivated.

In all these ways the richness of the life at Mount Sinai develops men and women with self- esteem and confidence in their own abilities, as well as respect and responsibility for others. The aim is to ensure that these formative years are not only enjoyable but are recognized as the necessary preparation for citizenship in a modern world.
