students a consciousness of the needs of society and the desire to contribute
positively through selfless service, putting the totality of God-given talents
and acquired knowledge to the service of humanity.

Child-centredness
Respect

Service
Our Philosophy
The school is non-partisan,
non-denominational and non-discriminatory. The only criteria for admission are
academic merit and the willingness to do one's best to achieve excellence.
We believe that all African
children in schools are members of a privileged minority, regardless of social
and economic standing, and we owe them a duty to provide the highest possible
standard of education.
The school's philosophy embraces
internationalism in its widest sense. Education is a global phenomenon; as
such, we seek excellence wherever it is to be found and use it to raise our
standards.
Our Values
At Sky International School we endeavor
to instill qualities of judgement, self-reliance, integrity and self-discipline
in our students. While we do not have a system of rigid rules, our overall Code
of Conduct is based on the need to ensure the security of the students as well
as consideration for others and high standards of behavior.
Our school has no formal links to
any religious denomination, though the school has always acknowledged its
Christian tradition. Children from all faiths are welcomed and supported. We
believe that true faith is measured in the quality of our everyday lives, in
our relationship with others, in our willingness to serve and in the power of
what we practice rather than preach. Our values celebrate the diversity of
beliefs which are represented in the school.
We believe in educating the whole
person, so that every student leaves the school well-equipped to achieve
individual goals and with a sense of commitment, social responsibility and
enthusiasm.
Our students are encouraged to
think creatively and independently. The spirit of healthy competition and
cooperation is encouraged through sports and other activities. In this way,
they learn about leadership and teamwork - the glory of winning and the
importance of losing gracefully, yet with a determination to strive to do
better next time.
Code of Conduct
A specific Code of Conduct is
issued to all Secondary School students and to students in Years 4 to 6 of the
Elementary School. The Code of Conduct is an agreement between the student, the
student's family and the school, which must be signed and returned.
In general we expect our students
to be responsible members of the community and ambassadors for Sky
International School’
Students are expected to:
Wear the full uniform and to be
smartly dressed at all times.
