Why did we choose St Brendan's ?

St. Brendan was an Irish monk and an exceptional seaman. He was born in the year 484 of our era. It is said that after sailing for seven years in rough seas, he discovered a new land. Although his ship was small and frail he went after his cause showing great courage and commitment in order to fulfill his dream: reaching his Land of Promise. His perseverance and constant commitment together with his determination to achieve his goal represent the inspiration and shows the path to follow.

Mission

St Brendan?s School strives to significantly contribute to the development of individuals who will enjoy and become actively involved in their own learning process set within respectful and caring environment. This is achieved through the enthusiastic commitment of the entire school community to implementation of an innovative, integral, bilingual and non-denominational international educational programme.

Vision

To be an educational community that forms people with a solid national identity and deep intercultural awareness who, as citizens of the world and in constant search for improvement, can contribute towards a positive transformation within themselves and in the society.

Founding Principles

The three principles which St. Brendan, ?The Voyager?, has passed on are those which the school is founded upon.

These are:

COURAGE, for his confidence and independence of spirit as well as his fascination of the far away and of the unknown.

COMMITMENT, for his responsibility towards his beliefs.

PERSEVERANCE, for his effort to make the most out of the processes that led him to his Land of Promise. St Brendan´s School is the result of the collaborative efforts between parents, teachers, students and staff who, aligned under the same objectives gave birth to this project. Since then, all members of the school community have a commitment to persevere so that the vision becomes a reality.
