We guarantee mutual respect among people in a community with diverse social backgrounds and beliefs. The differences in gender, ethnicity, social class and sexuality can be understood and mutually inclusive. Our school believes that It is useless to have only noble moral without rich knowledge; however, knowledge only without noble morals is dangerous. That is why we value ethnics studies as one of the key factors to become success in the future. For a long time, this creed has enabled students to constantly surpass themselves in their mental, physical and to enter new fields, both for themselves and for others.
