About 
Our School

The vision of St Anne International School (SAIS) is “to create responsible citizens of a global society.” Indeed, it is a daunting task to realise that the future of society is entrusted to schools so that the precious clay that they are moulding will have far-reaching effects in the world. It is a well-known fact that human formation begins at home and is nourished in school. All the experiences that children have, both at home and in school, help them understand that someone cares about them, about their feelings of self-worth and competency, about their understanding of the world around them, and about their beliefs concerning where they fit into the scheme of things. Since children learn about values and relationships at home, when they enter a classroom, and elsewhere in their community, they learn best when the significant adults in their lives -- parents, teachers, and members of the community -- work together to encourage and support them. They constantly observe how these significant adults in their lives treat one another, how decisions are made and executed, and how problems are solved. Schools alone cannot address all of a child's developmental needs; the meaningful involvement of parents and the support of the community are essential. At SAIS, there are avenues that encourage parents and staff to work together in mutually supportive ways, creating an environment in which understanding, trust, and respect can flourish. Students therefore get consistent messages from the important adults in their lives. When children observe that home and school are engaged in a respectful partnership for their benefit, they are likely to develop more positive attitudes about their school and achieve more, rather than when they experience situations in which school and home are seen as being worlds apart. It remains very vital for parents and teachers to communicate effectively with one another. Each has a piece of the puzzle of a child's development, and each can be more effective when information is shared. Constant communication helps ensure that both school and home are responsive to students' unique needs and therefore support children's overall development. The mission of SAIS is to provide quality education which promotes respect, and fosters harmony among all creeds, cultures and ethnic groups, thereby creating global leaders committed to the holistic development of the country and the world. The school makes all efforts in providing knowledge and wisdom through its various curricular and co-curricular programmes. It is our objective to make learning memorable, not just for a day or year, but for a lifetime; and when our learners find trustworthy mentors among the teachers and parents, it's a sure sign that the school challenges everyone to do their best and gladly realize their fullest potential. Finally, when they finish their years in SAIS, we want our children to leave having received pearls of wisdom, a wealth of knowledge and a treasure-chest of memories! ~ Father Aniceto Pereira
