At Waterfield College, we encourage our students to become empowered, curious young people, who choose to make a difference in the world around them. Our learning community embraces student agency where individuals take responsibility for their personal and academic success. We acknowledge effort and achievement on every front, and are invested in discovering talents in every student, because we believe every child is a masterpiece. We implement a philosophy, Waterfieldology, which is internationally minded and respects each individual's needs, rights and dignity; and is centered on taking action to make the world around them a better place.
We encourage students to acknowledge how they feel and to express it. We encourage them to be themselves and live freely while creating an environment where empathy will flow through.
We purposefully encourage our students to align with their truest selves: we encourage students to acknowledge their feelings, think their thoughts and build them towards mindful self-expression.
Through open and mindful engagement, we build empathetic attitudes towards each other and our surroundings. We encourage a genuine understanding of the realities of others.
At Waterfield, we understand that curiosity is the food that fuels knowledge. We encourage our students to ask, ask and ask again, as questioning minds pave the road to fulfilling revolutionary ideas.
