In this article, we will discuss the vision, mission, motto, and values of APS, as well as its focus on future-focused and integrated learning approaches.

Vision:

APS aims to achieve this vision by providing a vibrant teaching and learning environment that nurtures and develops the body, mind, and spirit of each learner.

Mission:

The mission of APS is to be a center of excellence in education with a rich heritage of Nepal. It stresses the simultaneous development of body, mind, and spirit, and endeavors to create compassionate, responsible, and innovative global citizens who are committed to the development of Nepal and the world.

Motto:

APS believes that learning is for life skills, and its motto reflects this belief. "Learning for life skills" emphasizes the importance of developing skills that will be useful throughout life, beyond just academic learning.

Values:

APS places a strong emphasis on values that promote personal and social responsibility. The core values of APS include:

• Accountability: APS believes in taking responsibility for one's own intellectual, social, personal, and emotional development, as well as physical wellbeing.
• Sincerity: APS values honesty, kindness, and gratitude, and encourages learners to support those who are less fortunate or in difficult circumstances.
• Integrity: APS believes in the importance of integrity and hard work undertaken with morality, determination, and a sense of commitment.
• Admiration: APS respects the community, environment, and individuals. It values diversity and accepts all without prejudice.

Future-focused and Integrated Learning Approaches:

APS provides a future-focused and integrated learning approach that focuses on a wider range of knowledge that is content-specific. The approach uses Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. It is project-based and allows learners to gain a wider breadth of knowledge into STEAM subjects through a trans-disciplinary approach. This approach fosters problem-solving, lifelong learning, and prepares learners to face the challenges of a complex and interconnected global community.

Asia Pacific School is committed to providing an inspiring, inclusive, and challenging learning environment that prepares learners for lifelong learning. Its focus on values, future-focused and integrated learning approaches, and the mission to develop global-minded citizens make it an institution of excellence in Nepal.
