Freedom To Teach

Spiritual Life
The School recognizes the spiritual element of life, encouraging each student to strengthen his/her whole self by developing the emotional, moral and spiritual aspects of life in concert with the intellectual and physical. At the same time, the School respects the rich diversity of religious backgrounds within our student community. -
A Balanced Life
The School expects both teachers and students to be committed fully to the co-curricular life of the School.

Healthy Competition
The School promotes healthy and honest competition while at the same time encouraging students to balance the need to compete with the need to work cooperatively with others. We also recognize that individuals should be encouraged to develop their full potential at their own pace, and, within the bounds of cooperative living, in their own way. -
Mutual Respect
The foundation of both self-worth and effective cooperation is mutual respect. The School expects that all members of the KES community show respect for others. All teachers, students and support staff are entitled to that respect.Read More
