Overview
In September 2019 we opened up our middle school. We are very proud of our children’s growth mindset and attitude which influences our school ethos and ethics. The respect and kindness they demonstrate daily to each other and everyone around them is wonderful to see.
The Integrated International program ensure a smooth transition through the years of schooling and provide the opportunity for students to succeed in a stimulating externally validated and highly respected world-class educational program. In this stage we mentor students with the values, attitudes and attributes that will serve them well in university, the workplace and all aspects of their life.
At Steadfast Academy we aim to support all our children to grow into resourceful individuals, who are able to reach their full potential feeling equipped with key skills. We are deeply committed to ensuring that all our children feel valued, happy and secure. Ultimately the qualifications that are obtained by our senior students will open doors to universities all over the world. Cambridge qualifications are universally recognized and welcomed.
We offer career mentorship which allows students to navigate different career paths as they learn. This gives them a chance to choose subjects options wisely while transiting to year ten.
