The Blue Mountain School is committed to nurturing the holistic well-being of students, encouraging their growth and development not only academically, but also emotionally and socially. We believe that education should take place in a climate free from fear, in a place that is safe, welcoming, congenial and supportive. We recognise that students have different capacities and strengths and that there are manifold paths to excellence. In keeping with the founding philosophy of the school, we value diversity, equity and the importance of retaining independence of thought, while being open-minded and tolerant about the views and opinions and others. Our aim is to inculcate knowledge and values that will lead students to become responsible members of the community, both at the local and global levels.
