SHARPER Philosophy

At Orchids The International School, our SHARPER Philosophy is the basis for our commitment to preparing children for life, not exams! SHARPER is an acronym for the seven pillars that shape your child's development: 
                                          
S - Self-Discipline: Developing habits that empower students to take ownership, be responsible, and stay focused. 
                  
H - Hard Work: Developing a healthy work ethic to achieve their goals. 

A - Applied Science: Learning about by making connections to real-life situations. 

R - Research: Developing curiosity for the purpose of discovery and independent thought.   

P - Physical Fitness: Engaging students in health, energy, and an active lifestyle. 

E - Exposure: Providing children a multitude of experiences beyond the classroom. 
 
R - Reflective Thinking: Assisting in their clarity of thoughts, actions, and learning from those experiences. 

In the end, our approach empowers children to become confident, curious, and balanced individuals, equipped to face life's challenges using both knowledge and life skills. SHARPER leads to a practical, stimulating, and purposeful experience in learning to prepare each student for the best future possible, academically, socially, and emotionally.
