Our students come from over 14 different countries, and the teaching staff are university educated with a diverse mix of teaching qualification and experience, thus creating the quintessential environment to realize our aim of "Building Global Citizens". To embrace this goal, our school community focuses on helping the students:

Create Bonds - student to studen, student to teacher and teacher to teacher
Become Aware - the self, the school, the community and the world
Communicate Effectively - fluency in languages: written, verbal and physical.

Active Learning - participation in your own education

We feel aspiring towards these seven goals partnered with receiving top quality academic instruction, Open Gates will prepare students to help our world become a more dynamic and understanding place.

Open Gates is a licensed Cambridge International Education Centre. We have a fusion of multilingual and multicultural children from all over the world. Therefore, our teaching team is a blend of Master’s of Education, Bachelor’s of Education, PGDE, PGCE and ESL educated teachers.
