HLC is committed to the pursuit of academic and intellectual achievement, the development of physical prowess and the building up of moral character and conscientiousness. Passion for learning, knowledge and the broadening of horizons will be the hallmarks of an education in HLC. We believe that this will encourage students towards a greater inquisitiveness and curiosity, not just with regard to their studies, but also towards life and the world around them. Description: Our mission is to provide an all-rounded education for the total development of our students, encompassing moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic aspects. The College believes that each student has worth and is endowed with potential and that the school can and should develop its students to the fullest. We also believe that every child has some talent and this should be nurtured. Each student should also become an effective and independent learner by learning to accept responsibility for his or her learning outcomes.
