Acorn believes that every child has a right to the best education possible. We aim to develop both intellect and character within a stimulating and challenging dual curriculum, nurturing the development of conscientious and responsible global citizens, as well as life-long learners.

Respect for each other and for the world we live in are central values at Acorn. We teach and celebrate cultural diversity and individual differences. Through our project-based curriculum we study aspects of life and geographical features within cultures other than our own. Through fund raising, the students are encouraged to adopt an endangered animal and donate to charities supporting schools and children in developing countries.

We motivate our students to “develop the core competencies which allow them to engage with the world, and help make it a more just and sustainable world” (Oxfam).
