We inspire our students to be critical, creative, innovative and enterprising problem-solvers and team-workers who are communicative and literate in multiple languages. We challenge our learners to strive for their individual potential and excellence, achieving the “knowledge, values, skills and understanding that they will require through their lifetimes and to apply them with confidence” (UNESCO, 1995).

We strive for excellence by aiming at nurturing the personal development of committed, empathic, open minded and responsible global citizens.
Acorn believes that every child has a right to the best education possible. We aim to develop both intellect and character within a stimulating and challenging dual curriculum, nurturing the development of conscientious and responsible global citizens, as well as life-long learners.

Respect for each other and for the world we live in are central values at Acorn International School. We teach and celebrate cultural diversity and individual differences. Through our project-based curriculum we study aspects of life and geographical features within cultures other than our own. Through fund raising, the students are encouraged to adopt an endangered animal and donate to charities supporting schools and children in developing countries.
