Committed to Excellence
"We are an institution at Upperhill whose target is to assure academic performance, give a flexible learning environment, and allow the use of technology and technical tools that bring in visual learning, audio learning, and a practical approach in education."
— School DirectorWe celebrate the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) because it allows us to identify gifts, talents, and special attributes in a learner. To achieve this, we want to deal with the mind — that is the Head, the Heart, and the Hands — so that the learner is given an opportunity to learn with joy.
In the meantime, our school policies endeavour to ensure we achieve our three aims: Togetherness, Love, and Passion. This should be able to bring in inclusivity, kindness, and high achievement levels.
At Upperhill, we believe everything is achievable as is espoused in our motto: "Committed to Excellence."
To achieve all this, we will ensure:
