KBS Mission Statement
Kempenfelt Bay School is committed to providing an exemplary education that empowers students to embrace their personal potential as productive and responsible, global citizens.
Guiding Principles
Character Education: We foster the development of positive values, integrity and ethics. The Six Pillars of CharacterSM - Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, Citizenship – are the foundation of all aspects of school life. We empower our students to assume active roles in the school, local and global communities.
Intellectual Curiosity: We strive to develop in our students a love of learning and the self-motivation to be successful life long learners.
Diverse Programme: We provide a variety of activities that stretch the mind and body, in a non-threatening, confidence building atmosphere. Co-curricular activities support the education of the whole child and include both academic and non-academic opportunities.
Critical Thinking: We engage students in learning activities that encourage problem solving through cooperative learning, decision making, meaningful analysis and application of ideas.
The Six Pillars of Character are service marks of the character counts! Coalition, a project of the Josephson Institute of Ethics.
