Values of Fishtail Academy

Courage

We cultivate courage in students, giving them the confidence to be themselves and a push for them to take the leap of faith. Encouraging the students, we make them brave enough to stand up for themselves

Integrity

Academic integrity gives the students and faculty, the flexibility to think outside the box, gather knowledge and create innovative work while also appreciating and acknowledging the efforts of the others.

Respect

Respect, as a key value in schools, strengthens the school's overall culture and, as a result, contributes to more individual success as students feel safe and secure in their surroundings. As a result, we create an environment conducive to the growth of respect and learning.

Responsibility

We represent and advocate for our community, putting students' and the general public's needs and interests first. We set fair goals and provide a favorable learning atmosphere for the students in five dimensions of their growth; moral, academic, physical, social, and creative, and help them grow into rational adults.

Relationship

Better bonding with teachers and administrators can significantly boost the confidence of the students and encourage them to learn more. We form strong relationships with students for more academic engagement, better social skills, and good behavior.

Resilience

Students who develop resiliency are more capable of dealing with disappointments, learning from failure, coping with setbacks, and adapting to change. We polish children's drive, tenacity, and perseverance in dealing with problems and coping with the difficulties and life.

Disciplined

We help the learners stay focused on their studies through a disciplined system. This trains children to focus in different ways throughout time. As a result, students can concentrate on their objectives and prioritize their work.

Open-Minded

An open mind allows youngsters to learn how people from all over the world interact despite their differences. Open-mindedness sees opportunities to reconsider beliefs, uncover false information, and examine alternate options when making decisions. As educators, we foster an open-minded climate in which pupils can think critically.
