Development of Leadership Skills

Leadership development begins in early grades through the School Council, where class representatives elected by peers meet monthly with faculty advisors to run projects and plan charitable events. At the upper level, the Executive Student Council, guided by mentors, plans school events and community projects for Aspen Heights British School. Tenth-graders may also apply to become prefects—a distinguished role for those prepared to set an example across all aspects of school life.
