… that education is a process by which a child is moulded into a physically healthy, intellectually objective, emotionally balanced and spiritually conscious member of the society. At Wynberg-Allen School, we seek to create individuals who are aware of their rights and responsibilities and can fruitfully contribute to the community. This aim is achieved through a well-designed programme that balances formal and informal education.

… that academic qualifications alone do not make an individual truly educated. Therefore, through a multitude of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular programmes, the school provides the students every opportunity for all-round growth.

… that physical education forms an integral part of modern education. The school follows a well-planned programme of physical development activities. The school maintains well-kept playing grounds for most of the internationally recognized sports, the prominent ones being cricket, football and hockey; and possesses a wooden floor gymnasium and indoor basketball and badminton courts. In addition, there is a roller skating rink-cum-tennis court and a swimming pool of international specifications at Allen, and a separate gymnasium for the Junior School at Wynberg.

… that freedom of expression makes more talented individuals. Our various clubs and societies organize debates, declamation contests, exhibitions, and expeditions, quiz competitions and other such activities. These are organized under the aegis of competent and experienced staff in charge.

… that moral education makes a valuable contribution in shaping the citizens of tomorrow. The moral and religious education in the curriculum exposes our students to the spiritual culture and heritage that is a legacy of the civilized world. Thus, Wynberg-Allen School enshrines an unwritten law of personal integrity in its customs and traditions of service, which inculcates in every student a respect for all mankind. The school motto - Excelsior - is a constant reminder of our responsibility towards spreading the light of Learning and Truth throughout the world.

… that community living is an extension of formal education. Our Boarding House is therefore not just a shelter for the students, but more importantly a lesson in practical community living. In order to achieve this goal, certain rules and regulations have been formulated; and all students and their guardians are required to adhere to these guidelines.
