At Claridge School we believe that:
- Each child is divinely equipped with a unique set of potentials and is worthy of respect as an individual.
- Each child is a physical, mental, spiritual and emotional being and the function of the education we give is to help all the pupils develop in each of these four areas to the fullest of their capacities.
- Service to the world and the community is the underlying motivation we must impact to our pupils who are disciplined and creative learners and who will balance the pursuit of personal development with the biblical model of servant-hood.
- Our school must value individual growth and achievement, cultural diversity within the school community and the development of a sense of responsibility to and concern for the largest community as a whole.
- Our staff must be made up of individuals who have love and understanding for children, who are professionally competent and who have an active interest in the affairs of their community, their country and the world.
- Claridge school programme must help prepare its graduates to benefit from higher education, to continue to educate themselves because they value education as a life-long process, and to participate in and improve the community in which they live.
