Our School's Tradition Seeks to Emulate
the Vision of its Founder -
~ Mrs. Mildred Gunawardena ~

* 'A tradition that provides an education for life.'

* 'A tradition that nurtures the nature of man, the child, in his quest to realize his fullest potential.'

* 'A tradition dedicated towards protecting the birthright of every child...to explore and discover his/her world...the universe.'

* 'A tradition solely grounded in placing responsibility in the hands of the child - from his/her most tender beginnings - and the child's parents, hand in hand, to bring out the best of 'lived and learned' life experience.'

* 'A tradition rooted in sowing the seeds of compassionate and selfless human culture in children's hearts from the very beginning.'

* 'A tradition founded in nurturing the unconditional spirit of love in the human condition through sublimation of selfish instinctual tendencies.'

* 'A tradition that inculcates and propagates the wisdom of true knowledge, tempered and bound only by love, through the cultivation of respect for all things - sentient and otherwise - that fall within the circle of life.'

* 'A tradition rich in philosophy and practice through every breath of life, as it seeks to embrace and exemplify a sense of gratitude and equality toward all aspects that help to create the composite called world.'

* 'A tradition that integrates all fields of knowledge - that converge to present the totality called 'life' and 'co-existence' - with a deep sense of moral sensitivity towards living to learn and learning to live.'

* 'A tradition that brings to bear the importance of sustaining an attitude of equality toward the mindful cultivation of three interdependent, inseparable aspects of a whole, called body, mind, and spirit.'

* 'A tradition that stands firmly behind its principles as expounded by the twentieth century's foremost educational innovator - Dr. Maria Montessori.'

* 'A tradition that transcends all barriers...time frames, geographic regions and cultures.'
