ROUND SQUARE

Round Square is an international network of like-minded schools which subscribe to tenets of the educational philosophy espoused and developed by Kurt Hahn, the founder of Gordonstoun, Schule Schloss Salem and a number of others. In a diversion from the British public school model which focussed on the development of character and the education of gentlemen, Hahn’s schools focussed on developing individualism, confidence and rigour with the capacity to survive and adapt in difficult conditions within a progressive education system.

ABOUT

His philosophy has come to be codified in the IDEALS of the Round Square association, established in 1996 and which now comprises some 230 member schools from around the world. Many still adhere to the stricter aspects of the Hahn approach whilst others have implemented a modernised adaptation to suit their student body. Round Square has become the mark of some of the world’s best schools with many leading independent schools and international schools becoming members. Hahn’s educational philosophy and pedagogy has come to be particularly popular with royals, aristocrats and nobility for its selfless and public service focus and global citizenry outlook.

Round Square schools have a strong emphasis on holistic education which includes all aspects of a pupil’s life and school experience, including extracurricular activities, hence the association’s membership is heavily dominated by boarding schools or schools which have a significant number of boarders in addition to day pupils.

Round Square schools typically have extensive amenities and facilities on campus to accommodate a wide range of pursuits and adventures by pupils, with some rival schools having referred to Round Square members, unfairly, as theme park schools. However, pupil satisfaction levels are high for the most part and academic standards are rigorous. Indeed, it is the academic rigour and cultural vigour that has made member schools such popular choices for prospective pupils and their parents. Many of these schools, consequently, have a very international student body and a global outlook.

Round Square membership may vary, but has included the schools listed below at one time or another. For the latest information, visit Round Square or speak to your preferred school.
