From the Jericho Primary School
Being the head teacher of such a lively and energetic school where everyone works so hard to ensure that we achieve excellence for everyone makes me happy and proud. It's a family school, Jericho. You'll discover a friendly, purposeful atmosphere where interactions are based on respect for one another. Our teachers support students in going above and beyond their expectations and in growing a strong sense of accountability to themselves, their peers, and the larger community. We encourage this by cultivating students' creativity, encouraging autonomous thinking and learning, and demonstrating that mistakes can be a teaching opportunity. Achievement and a "can do" attitude are at the core of our philosophy. We firmly think that learning should be exciting, and we are incorporating this idea as a cornerstone into our curriculum. Together, we aim to help our kids become the future entrepreneurs, innovators, and change agents. We sincerely hope you have fun browsing this website and learning more about our school. Please make an appointment with the office if you'd like a tour. We would be delighted to show you around our school.
