San Silvestre is a place where girls are encouraged to pursue their dreams, achieve academic excellence, form long-lasting friendships and develop a spirit of inquiry. Girls grow with confidence and become active and responsible members of a global society.
We value the uniqueness of each and every student and the wonderful diversity of our community. San Silvestre is very often referred to as the “San Silvestre Family”; building a strong sense of community is fundamental to the ethos of our school. We know that pupils who feel a sense of belonging are confident and motivated; they act ethically and they develop positive social and emotional skills.
Underlying our rigorous academic curriculum is a hidden but tangible curriculum of values and ethical behaviour; this is at the heart of everything we do. It is our Vision that every student becomes a “principled citizen of an ever-changing world.”
Our caring community extends far beyond the boundaries of the school gates. Our students are ethical, active and proactive citizens who are involved in a vast array of Service Learning Projects; their enthusiastic participation in these projects reflects the values and care which suffuse the kind environment in which they grow.
