SOTE is an independent school that offers a supportive environment for children to learn, to be inspired and to nurture their inherent spirit and character.
We bring academia, character development, service and community together to help students grow into contributive, confident and capable human beings.
We acknowledge that every child is different and have a flexible approach to education that suits more than the ‘textbook’ child. No child is textbook; every child is unique.
That’s why we’re about raising children who are intrinsically motivated, compassionate and can think for themselves. We’re about a learning process that celebrates the whole child beyond their academic achievements. We’re about learning beyond the confines of the classroom.
We’re about learning for life.
Total Education is about celebrating and nurturing each child’s whole self, beyond just their academic performance. We bring academia, character development, service and community together to help students grow into contributive, confident and capable human beings.
Each child is wonderfully unique. By celebrating character and fostering individual development, our focus is on nurturing their inherent spirits and helping them to flourish into balanced, holistic, total people.
We believe that a person’s success in life largely depends on the kind of person they become. That’s why we aim for the right balance between academic and character development. Our school curriculum focuses on building strong foundations in character, curiosity and community as well as providing an opportunity to dive deeper into subjects of interest and achieve great results.
Children can achieve excellence through cooperation and intrinsic motivation, without the need for external motivation through competition and praise. Curiosity and desire to be your best self are more reliable and sustainable sources of motivation and build a resilient mindset that is not dependent on external influences.
It takes a village to raise a child. Our school isn’t just a collection of individuals – SOTE invites parents, teachers and children to be part of our friendly community with shared values, regular interaction and mutual support. This also extends to past students, parents and teachers.
