About
School of the Nations is Guyana’s premier private school dedicated to grades K through 12 in Guyana. Nations educates girls and boys of all races, cultures and backgrounds to become bold, authentic and intellectually vibrant changemakers.
Our belief is that it is mankind’s destiny to create a society in which justice is firmly established; the extremes of wealth and poverty are eliminated; racial, social and political prejudice cease to exist; the equality of men and women is a reality; the idea of the oneness of humanity pervades all mankind; and the diverse nations of the world are fused into one commonwealth.
We see education as a means of realizing individual potential and as a powerful force in the transformation of society.
“LIGHT UPON LIGHT”
Our school is built on two pillars; quality academics, complemented with strong virtues and service-to-others focus. Our programming is designed to unleash a passion for learning in a fun and creative environment.
Vision
We are the leader in developing girls and boys who strive in their every day lives to make to make a positive change in the world, encouraging unity and diversity amongst their peers. We focus the school programming on the following pillars to develop well rounded graduates.
Secure & Confident
We develop young men and women who are secure in themselves.
Nations’ graduates grow remarkable confidence and a strong voice—they hold fast to what they believe, know their own strengths, and speak up for themselves and others.
Rounded Approach to Academics, Arts and Sports
At Nations, we foster a balance between academics, arts and sports.
This is done by encouraging the development of each aspect to mold our students into well rounded individuals and to provide opportunities that open their lives to new experiences.
ChangeMakers
We empower boys and girls to be courageous changemakers.
Nations’ students are comfortable tussling with complex problems and are eager to solve them. They develop into brave, bold young men and women who are ready to use their powerful minds and voices to change the world.
Positive Community Members
We believe learning is enhanced by the remarkable diversity of our school community.
At Nations, boys and girls learn about different cultures, races and religions. Guyana’s four largest religions are Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and the Baha’i Faith. In Guyana’s multicultural community national holidays are celebrated from the three largest religions. Nations encourages activities and experiences of all cultures for our student body creating young people who have a community mindset and who learn that community development is an integral part of their personal lives.
Vibrant Intellectuals
We embolden boys and girls to be intellectually vibrant and ambitious.
In the company of other genuinely curious, diverse students, and guided by gifted and committed teachers, our students thrive in our forward-thinking, progressive academic environment.
Service to Others
We live our motto through Service.
We teach our learners to be of service to those in need and our community as each act of service has a positive impact in persons’ lives. As a school we have one major community project per year and smaller class projects per term.
