The Three Rivers Way

Three Rivers has a big vision! It envisions graduating students of strong character who are good thinkers and have big hearts and a love for their fellowman.

Our school is preparing students for a life of service so that they will help uplift their communities and transform their country. The most important aspect of this preparation is character education. All students have classes in character education with the Head of School, and developing good character is a major focus in all the activities of the school. We are grateful that our students have been recognized for their good conduct and outstanding character.

To guide both teachers and students, Three Rivers has articulated 16 principles or standards for life at the school. Known as The Three Rivers Way, they have inspired not only the students and teachers, but visitors and parents and friends of the school. You can read these below.
