At The Heritage School, we are committed to nurturing a vibrant learning community where every individual is empowered to grow into their fullest potential.
Our core values shape the foundation of Samstha — the institution — and reflect our purpose in education. Together they form AAFIRE: a set of living principles that guide everything we do.
Our Core Values
Attentiveness
We will commit to practice and foster a state of attentiveness to all our thoughts and actions. Attentiveness involves giving ourselves completely to the PRESENT MOMENT and silencing our insecurities, fears and unwanted thoughts. Attentiveness is the first step towards selfless love and compassion.
Authenticity
The school will encourage and enable in thought, word and deed, authenticity of being and transparency, and by implication discourage all acts of hypocrisy, pretension and double standards.
Freedom to Be, Learn and Grow
The Heritage community will provide the space to be, learn and grow to all its members. It will strive to nurture the freedom of choice in learning and doing, without in any way compromising the rigour and discipline of learning.
Inclusion
The Heritage community will encourage the principle of inclusion which will ensure fair opportunity and equal attention to all those who come to Heritage, without any discrimination whatsoever.
Respect
The Heritage community will always respect what one is and can become. We will endeavour to instil respect for the work we do, the people we engage with, the things we use, and the environment we live in. Above all, we will foster and strengthen a sense of respect for oneself.
Excellence
We will always strive to nurture a culture and habit of excellence in all that we are and all that we do — actively encouraging high standards of character, behaviour and action while equally actively discouraging mediocrity, carelessness and negligence in thought, word and action.
