The Principal, Senior School
 

Thank you for visiting our website.

Did you love school? Or was it a place you couldn't

wait to leave?

I want both to be true when children move on from

Mutiara. They will be sad to leave good friends and a

place where they have been immensely happy, but

they will also be itching to go. They will be more than

ready. We will have given them a foundation for being

leaders for life based on the values, experiences and

education we have given them.

We say Mutiara is an all-round school. That is not

code for being 'non-academic'.  We have increased

our academic standard for entry and we expect every

girl and boy to achieve their personal best in their

exams, which in many cases are all A grades. But an

education system only based on passing exams fails

our children. Being an all-round school means truly

educating a child for life, and developing their 'intelligence'

in the broadest way.  I believe in an approach to education

based on the idea that people have 'multiple' intelligences.

Everyone's ability in each intelligence is different and the

blend is unique.

I want Mutiara to become one of the most respected and

admired co-educational independent schools in the Asia,

not for its place in the rankings but because of the pioneering

and transforming education it gives the girls and boys that

come here.

Educating children is a great responsibility and privilege.

If you are a parent of a child already at the school, thank

you for entrusting us with that job. If you are considering

sending your child to Mutiara, please come and see the

school, meet the children and staff and talk to me about my

vision for the School in the coming years. 

Warm regards,

Mark Shere
