Verita International School

For the last 10 years, Verita has truly felt like home to me.

And it’s also home to these amazing children, students and families who entrusted us with their educational and personal journeys of discovery and growth. We are honoured and deeply responsible for their trust in us.

For me, this journey started over 12 years ago with a volunteering project for sick children in hospitals and it became an incredibly meaningful and passionate journey to create an educational community where our children can grow and develop a love for learning and a genuine love for who they truly are. Our belief here at Verita is that the core of who we are, is kindness.

We want our students to learn and have great academic results, to go out in the world and create magnificent things. And we also want them to be kind, compassionate human beings who make responsible decisions and build healthy relationships. Balanced adults who have resilience, motivation, grit and can navigate in a mindful way the inevitable hardship that life sometimes brings about.

And that’s why at Verita we look at the whole learner.

What’s really driving a child’s behaviour? How do children develop and learn? These are questions we keep asking ourselves as we are also still learning.

In today’s world we are all interconnected. The challenges we face and that our children will face in the future, require cooperation, compassion, grit, and creativity.

We acknowledge this here in Verita and my mission as Head of School, as a mother and, ultimately, as a human being, will always be to uphold these values within our community and to model our mission of putting kindness first in everything we do in a dynamic and authentic way.

About
Verita International School

Our approach to curriculum makes standards come alive for students by connecting learning to real-world issues and needs. Verita ensures that all students meet rigorous curriculum objectives and standards while in parallel providing exciting learning opportunities. Units of learning, real-life case studies, projects, fieldwork, and service-learning inspire students to think and work as professionals do, contributing high-quality work that is presented to audiences beyond the classroom.

 

We believe that through enquiry, active learning, and the development of emotional intelligence in a safe environment, all students are capable of mastery of knowledge, skills and understanding.

 

We feel it’s vital that students see and value learning as a dynamic process where they are constantly making connections and moving on to the next step. If students are challenged by the next step and empowered to set realistic goals, they will continue to move on with greater enthusiasm and wonder.

 

We also understand that we as adults teach them by modelling these values. Therefore, we focus not only on the professional but also personal development of our staff as ultimately, we teach who we are.

 

Our teachers and staff are like a second family for our students. We share the same home, which is our campus, and for many hours a day, we come together striving to best serve our children. And just as in any family, how we show up matters. We take care of our students also by taking care of our teachers and staff. Their wellbeing is an indicator of how well we can teach our students.

 

From Mr. Doru, our guard who is always smiling at the entrance gate, to our kitchen and cleaning staff and all our teachers and teaching assistants, feeling safe, seen and heard is a priority. Having a sense of belonging and knowing there is always someone here to reach out to if you need any kind of support is intentional and a constant focus and effort in the Senior Leadership Team.

 

They say home is where your heart is. We say Verita is a place to grow hearts and minds and we are very proud to continue this work serving our families and students in the years to come. Welcome to Verita, welcome home!
