Values of Vision
ASIS is enthusiastic in its mission for children to leave ASIS with a strong sense of their own mission and with an ambition for the future. The school wishes for students to graduate with a desire to serve and to become the next generation of leaders in business, education, civil service or whatever career path they choose. The ASIS Leadership program aims to develop the academic and personal character skills needed to be successful in life, so that all students can make the most of their abilities and interests to fulfil their true potential.
Students are encouraged to have new experiences, and to try things outside of their comfort zone. This approach leads to innovative learners, much more capable of independent thought. When given more autonomy students learn from their mistakes, in time developing self-confidence and a willingness to both co-operate and be decisive in the decision making process. ASIS also understands that the learners of today will become leaders in a globalised world, and teaches its ethos and aims accordingly.
