About Us
Welcome to Shangri-La Academy
Small School – Big Difference
Our Mission
Our Academy badge depicts the Tree of Knowledge, with our motto: Knowledge is Life. Our pupils can be seen as young, vulnerable saplings, for whom we, as an Academy, endeavour to provide a safe and secure environment so that they can mature and grow into strong independent leaders in our society.
We emphasise a culture of excellence in a friendly and hospitable atmosphere, where class sizes are maintained at a level where each child can excel. Our dedicated staff are committed to making themselves available to support and nurture each and every child.
As our pupils will one day take their rightful place in society, we encourage competition without losing sight of the spirit of co-operation and sportsmanship amongst one another.
Our pupils will, as young adults, fulfil their dreams and ambitions of excellence, thus fulfilling our dreams of excellence for them.
Christo Centric Ethos
Shangri-La Academy is not affiliated to any particular Religious Denomination, and provisions are made to accommodate all religions.
The nature of the self-discipline that we emulate is based on the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ, with regular Bible Education classes in the Foundation Phase and each assembly commencing with a Bible reading and prayer.
