Education is the key to a future and we want to equip our young men to reach their best potential.
The academic courses offered at our school aim at providing a broad base for the boys to go on to suitable employment or to any of the professions through University or College education, rather than training them for a specific career. Although there are staffing and timetable constraints, we have provided a wide range of possible combinations of subjects. These might not suit every single boy, but we believe that they are balanced and that all sensible possibilities have been included.
