The President

Being a pupil from our creche  to the Grade 12 school has incredible benefits. We can shape the trajectory of a student’s academic growth with challenging learning experiences, a myriad of opportunities for enrichment both in and out of the classroom, and dedicated, experienced and inspiring teachers and staff who take pride in building lasting relationships with their students.

Now, more than ever, a sophisticated education is needed to help our young people navigate the complex world they will live, work, and engage in for their lifetime. We at C2H are continually renewing our program to prepare our students for a life of public and personal purpose that helps our students make more of themselves and of their lives. This is the heart of our community.

To find their place in the world, students need to know how to think, to challenge ideas including their own, with a focus on the central intellectual skill of knowing how to sort through ideas, to identify one’s own perspective and willingness to engage respectfully with others. Our Culture of Powerful Learning articulates the what and the how of this program.

Students need to not only think, but also to do. They need to be making, be creating, be listening, and be engaged. Our curricular and co-curricular activities provide them with a remarkable array of opportunities to develop the skills of making and doing, so as to shape and animate their learning in tangible ways.

In joining C2H , you not only get an education, but you join a community. We expect our students to be involved in our rich and diverse school life, and we support them through resources and mentoring so that they can learn those leadership capabilities for now and the future. This community is diverse in perspectives, ethnicity, socio-economics and culture, and that only makes us stronger.

Shaping kids  to be fearless leaders is a lofty goal. We want our students to be dazzled by what they can do, and to lift each other up – that is the power of belonging and the lifelong preparation of an exceptional education.

Sincerely,

Phrank Shaibu

President
