About

The Basic School Department

The Basic School Department is dedicated to unearthing every child’s natural talent, recognizing that this is essential for their growth and development. We strive to create an environment where each student can explore and nurture their unique abilities, ensuring they have the tools and support needed to thrive.

Our commitment to discovering and fostering these talents helps to lay a strong foundation for their future success. By focusing on the individual strengths of each child, we aim to contribute significantly to their overall development, preparing them to become confident, capable, and well-rounded individuals.

LEADERSHIP

The very essence of leadership is having a clear vision; you can’t blow an uncertain trumpet. Effective leaders understand that leadership and learning are indispensable to each other, as continuous learning fuels their ability to guide and inspire others. By constantly seeking knowledge and growth, leaders can navigate challenges with confidence and provide a clear direction for their teams.

A key objective of leadership is to uplift those who are struggling and help them improve, while also supporting those who are already excelling to achieve even greater heights. This dual focus ensures that everyone reaches their full potential, creating a dynamic and thriving environment where success is shared and multiplied.

TRUTH

“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.” Telling the truth is always a better way to live, as honesty forms the foundation of trust and integrity. People generally favor honesty, even if it’s not always what they want to hear, because it fosters genuine relationships and builds a solid reputation.

Being truthful requires strength and courage, as it often challenges us to face difficult situations head-on. Many of us find it challenging because being dishonest can sometimes seem like the easier route to take. However, embracing honesty, despite its challenges, leads to a more authentic and fulfilling life, where trust and respect are earned and maintained.

HARDWORK

“A dream does not become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.” This emphasizes the importance of effort and perseverance in achieving our goals. Similarly, “I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it,” suggests that luck often results from consistent effort and dedication.

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment,” underscores the value of focusing on the present to create a better future. Lastly, “Hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard,” highlights that diligence and persistence can surpass natural ability when talent is not coupled with effort. Together, these quotes illustrate the profound impact of hard work and determination in turning dreams into reality.

DETERMINATION

It takes determination to see a dream come to pass. The question is not whether you will start, but whether you will finish. Success is determined by the size of one’s will. Working hard, being patient, and being full of determination is perhaps the most fulfilling way of becoming rich.

As Robert Gardner wisely said, achieving wealth and success is not about shortcuts or magic; it’s about consistent effort and a resolute mindset. By maintaining focus and perseverance, you can turn your dreams into reality and experience the true fulfillment that comes from hard-earned success.

CRITICAL THINKERS

People can be extremely intelligent, have taken a critical thinking course, and know logic inside and out. Yet, they may just become clever debaters, not true critical thinkers, if they are unwilling to examine their own biases.

True critical thinking requires more than just knowledge of logic and argumentation techniques; it demands an openness to self-reflection and a willingness to challenge one’s own assumptions. Without this introspection, even the most intelligent individuals may fall into the trap of defending their viewpoints rather than seeking the truth.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Leaders are problem solvers by talent, temperament, and choice. For them, the new information environment—undermining old means of control, opening up old closets of secrecy, and reducing the relevance of ownership, early arrival, and location—should seem less a litany of problems and more an agenda for action.

As Einstein wisely noted, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” This underscores the necessity for leaders to adopt innovative and adaptive approaches to problem-solving, embracing change and leveraging new information dynamics to drive progress and find effective solutions.

SENCE OF SECURITY

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

This profound statement reminds us that true security is an illusion. In the grand scheme of life, playing it safe and avoiding risks does not necessarily protect us more than facing challenges head-on. Embracing life as a daring adventure, with all its uncertainties and opportunities, brings meaning and fulfillment. Instead of seeking an unattainable state of complete security, we should focus on living boldly and experiencing all that life has to offer.

PROFESSIONALISM

Believe passionately in what you do, and never knowingly compromise your standards and values. This unwavering commitment to integrity is the foundation of true professionalism.

Professionalism is not a label you give yourself; it’s a description you hope others will apply to you based on your consistent actions and dedication. A professional is someone who can perform at their best even when they don’t feel like it, demonstrating reliability, resilience, and excellence in every situation.
