OUR ETHOS
Kennedy House is a welcoming, safe and happy school where children
are nurtured and challenged by a modern, relevant and adaptive curriculum. In
partnership with parents we are committed to developing children who are
life-long learners, are characterised by their discipline, integrity,
creativity and compassion.
We give each child wide-ranging
opportunities to excel, succeed and develop their confidence while celebrating
their achievements along the way.
We expect our pupils to
understand, contribute to, and thrive in today’s society by providing a
holistic education which will allow them to develop socially, academically,
physically and emotionally.
The school community and its
wider context in Tanzania are essential aspects to the children’s education and
our pupils and staff celebrate diversity.
OUR VISION
Our
vision is of a school that prepares children for a rapidly changing world,
where qualifications will not be the only criteria for success.
Kennedy
House pupils will be tomorrow’s pioneers and they will need a diverse set of
skills and characteristics to succeed. They will be respectful, compassionate,
resilient and aspirational. We want them to be independent, cooperative,
adaptable and full of confidence in the manner in which they communicate with
others. Above all, our pupils will have a ‘growth mind-set’ that allows them to
turn challenges and setbacks into springboards and opportunities.
Our
forward-thinking school will attract outstanding teachers from around the world
who will inspire our pupils through excitement and challenge. We will invest in
supporting and developing their careers.
Parents
will be actively involved in their children’s education and will support the
school in achieving its aims. Parents will feel welcome in school and will know
that their views are valued and appreciated.
