The fundamental goal of education is to encourage a love of learning. At its heart there must be a sense of empowerment and inner fulfillment which is the prime focus at De Paul International Residential School. By nature, children are active inquirers and we believe our students retain far more knowledge when given the freedom to have ownership over their learning. Our students engage in intellectual exploration while teachers gently guide, encourage and inspire students to navigate through an inquiry cycle and develop a variety of enduring skills. De Paul International Residential School is a child- centric place, where children discover their abilities, passions, and skills through questioning, problem solving, independent thinking, innovation, and creativity. We believe children love to learn and this sense of adventure can be lost when a child is pushed to grapple with things they aren't ready for. The teachers role is to support children as they try new skills, make discoveries, and take the next step. An awe inspiring infrastructure comprising of well ventilated classrooms, science, language laboratories and libraries where books span time, space, culture and genre.

Set in an area of stunning natural beauty, De Paul International Residential School is a safe and encouraging environment where students learn to work hard and where they are taught the skills necessary to face the world with confidence.
