Ivy Thomas Memorial School aims to support students in their development

Ivy Thomas Memorial School aims to support students in their intellectual, emotional, and social development throughout their Early Years, Primary, and Secondary Education. At each of these stages, while attending to each individuality, our goal is for children and teenagers to acquire and develop competences that will enable them to become individuals capable of shaping society.

Concerning intellectual development, we strive for our students to acquire the necessary skills to navigate efficiently in the 21st century. We expect them to learn how to learn, to cultivate their critical thinking and creativity, to be able to reflect and become aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Beyond content and areas of knowledge, we strive for them to acquire and apply high-level cognitive tools; to connect ideas, apply them, devise alternatives, and reflect upon these and other processes.

Regarding emotional and social development, our objective is for our students to nurture healthy and constructive relationships with their peers and adults, to be virtuous individuals, attuned to the needs of others, who contribute to society not only with their intellectual capacity but also with their sense of goodness, putting both into practice to effect genuine transformations.
