To help students develop this sense of fairness, they are encouraged to challengepreconceptions and examine issues rigorously from all angles. There is also a strong focus on theability to analyze large quantities of information and make decisions with a sense of justice andimpartiality.

cultivate a genuine consideration for others.

Respect for Democratic Principles

They areexpected to perform to the best of their abilities in all their endeavors while strictly adhering to therules and maintaining respect for others.

Through their daily education and extracurricular

activities, students form a strong awareness of social rules and manners while at the same time
gaining the autonomy to find ways of utilizing their own individual abilities.

Ability to Clearly Communicate One’s Ideas
