Learning at the ASMS is bult around a number of important beliefs. We believe that:

learning is enhanced when students possess deep understanding of their preferred approaches to learning and are able to self-direct and individually plan their learning

deep understanding is developed through an experiential and inquiry-based, interdisciplinary learning environment

the development of learners is enhanced through rigorous intellectual challenge and the opportunity to explore issues in depth

education is most effective when the needs and interests of students shape their curriculum and learning experiences and support their development as independent, life-long learners

a thorough understanding of science and mathematics and their interrelationships and applications through innovations within the wider community is essential

excellence in science and mathematics is demonstrated through its implementation for the general benefit of human endeavour

access to information and communication technologies empowers learning

effective and inclusive learning communities value collaboration, flexibility, respect and interconnectedness with others

perspectives gained through inter-cultural and international communications strengthen understanding of ourselves and others and ability to operate within a global context.
