Round Square (RS)

Round Square (RS) is a world-wide association of selected schools (60) on five continents.  Students attending RS schools make a strong commitment, beyond academic excellence, to personal development and responsibility, achieved by participating in community service, work projects, exchange programmes and adventuring to places often half way around the world.  RS is based on the theories of educational philosopher Dr. Kurt Hahn, who believed that schools should have a greater purpose beyond preparing students for college and university. RS schools believe that it is crucial for young people to prepare for life by facing it directly and experiencing it in ways that would demand courage, generosity, imagination, principle and resolution. www.roundsquare.org
