Paras School of Holistic Learning

The best thing about Paras School of Holistic Learning is our people and the spirit of PARAS - the strong sense of community and the warmth and commitment of our students, staff and volunteers. You can't help but notice how happy our students are. These elements lie at the core of Paras and you can feel the "pride of school" that radiates from so many who have been touched by their experiences here. This pride is enhanced by our beautiful campus that provides a fantastic classroom program. It doesn't feel like a school at all.

Our mission - to challenge and enable our students to reach their individual potential in mind, body and spirit - comes with a commitment to uphold our values and to ensure that the academic and social needs of our students are paramount. Programs like our Leadership, Character, Values Program (PARAS) provides students with a set of tools for applying in all aspects of their lives. Parents entrust their children to us and we take that trust very seriously.

In our most recent strategic plan, we say students learn in "ways they never imagined," and "through the relationships they build." They also learn through their environment, international opportunities and expeditions, and from teachers who know them really well. They enjoy individualized learning support and are immersed in knowledge and experiences that only a program like ours can deliver; a program that focuses on educating the whole student.

Encouraging rigour, developing resourcefulness and building resiliency are key aspects of our program. If our goal is to prepare our students for next generation and success in life, then there is no better place to experience challenge, success, and failure than here.
