In developing our curriculum content and approach, we started with the question: “What should a Misk Schools graduate look like?”
Our answer was that students will leave us prepared to lead with purpose because they are passionate learners, critical thinkers, and globally-minded citizens who strive to learn what it means to live life well and assume responsibility for making the world more habitable, safe and fair.
Misk Schools Graduate Profile
• Possessing the cognitive and intellectual habits of mind that reflect mastery in all core disciplines, graduating university ready and worldly.
• Self-directed, reflective and mindful, able to manage goals, time, work and wellness.
• Capable, humble and compassionate, lead by example and inspire others.
• Analytic and synthetic thinkers, inquisitive and open-minded, able to come up with novel solutions to problems; able to generate new methods, ideas and products.
• Globally minded by virtue of internships and study abroad.
• Ecologically literate and leaders of thought and action for responsibility to our shared planet.
Working backwards from this graduate profile, we designed the Misk Schools Diploma – a carefully curated, balanced curriculum that is underpinned by personalised learning and delivered using High Performance Learning (HPL).
HPL is based on the premise that all students can achieve high levels of academic performance – once seen as the domain of the very few – and that they are equipped with the values, attitudes and attributes that will serve them well at university, and as future leaders.
A Misk Schools education is holistic, concentrating on skills development alongside traditional knowledge acquisition, with a particular focus on Leadership and Critical Thinking.
"In today's information-rich world, we empower children to think critically and creatively, ensuring they thrive in any setting." Dr Steffen Sommer, Director General.
Alongside the rigour of their Academic Curriculum, all our students take part in an extensive Co-curricular Activities Programme which offers an array of sporting, academic, artistic, science and technology-based choices designed to promote life skills, leadership and personal development. Student health and happiness is a key focus for us as evidenced by our carefully constructed and managed approach to Safeguarding and Well-being.
