Based in Windsor, England, the Round Square is a consortium of 220 like-minded schools in 50 countries on every continent. Founded by educational theorist Kurt Hahn, the founder of Gordunston School in Scotland and the Outward Bound movement, his approach to experiential learning led to the Round Square founding. He is credited for the quote, “There is more to you than you know.” The Round Square organization is most noted for its approach to embedding character education, leadership development, service, experiential learning, democracy and internationalism in the school’s existing framework. These form the six IDEALS of the program. We, as a school, are already doing this in our teaching and learning; our values and mission statement embody the Round Square ethos and philosophy.
