* To encourage positive social attitudes: respect and consideration for others, of all ages, whether younger children, classmates or teachers, visitors, ancillary staff, secretaries or dining-room staff, groundsmen, etc. Good manners and personal cleanliness and appearance are considered very important.
* To encourage an international outlook, awareness of and respect for the different cultures represented among the students.
* Special importance is given to helping students derive the maximum advantage from living in Spain. All students receive classes in Spanish language and where suitable literature, history and geography up to Year 11. This will be broadened to include Years 12 and 13 over the next three years.
