The higher an individual is encouraged to fly, the broader their perspective will be, and the greater their contributions to all their endeavours.

Round Square

Round Square is a worldwide association of schools which share a commitment, beyond academic excellence, to personal development and responsibility through service, challenge, adventure and international understanding.

There are 54 member and associate member schools on five continents empowering and preparing young people for life through community service, exchange programs, and adventure.

Kurt Hahn, Round Square founder, knew that students needed to "learn to face life directly and experience it in a way that demands courage, generosity, imagination, principle and resolve."

The revolution in education introduced by Dr. Hahn has led to the creation of dozens of outstanding schools, and to Outward Bound, the United World Colleges, The Duke of Edinburgh's award and other enduring innovations in education.

Present Patrons of Round Square include: H.M. King Constantine, H.R.H The Duke of York, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and President Nelson Mandela.
