Our Values at The Learn Academy
At The Learn Academy, our values are the foundation of everything we do. We believe that education is not only about academic achievement but also about developing global citizens who embody respect, compassion, community spirit, determination, leadership, and curiosity. Our students are encouraged to thrive both intellectually and personally, becoming confident, thoughtful, and conscientious global citizens.

Community
School:
Within the school community, students are celebrated for their achievements in assemblies through awards and certificates that align with TLA values, fostering a culture of recognition and encouragement. Peer support is central to our ethos; students often buddy up to share skills and help each other in their learning journey, promoting a kind, supportive and inclusive environment. Strong communication between staff, students, and parents ensures positive collaboration, while initiatives like the Parent Association provide opportunities for parents to connect with one another and actively engage in the school community and their child’s education.
Local:
TLA students actively engage with the local community, taking the initiative to identify and challenge social issues through critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By developing community-driven projects, they embrace civic responsibility and work to address local needs. Students build networks of relationships and social ties that foster shared values, traditions, and purpose within their immediate surroundings.
Global:
On a global scale, TLA students exhibit a deep understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures, fostering empathy and respect for people from all backgrounds. Through international collaborations and initiatives, including cultural exchanges and our Global Citizenship Project, they develop a global outlook and advocate for solidarity in the face of economic, social, and political challenges.
