OUR ESSENCE
MISSION
To reach out into our community and achieve educational excellence – guided by ethics and the values of adaptability, inclusivity and globalism – to develop future-fit individuals who display integrity, responsibility and respect for themselves and their community and who are guardians of their environment and heritage.
VISION
The Penryn vision was to build a beacon school, a centre of excellence from which a major education outreach programme would be developed into the surrounding disadvantaged school system. We remain true to this vision today.

Our Community
Penryn’s scholars are part of the Penryn family for life. It does not matter who you are or where you came from, at Penryn we have a sense of belonging that enables our scholars to find themselves.
Our scholars realise the privilege of a private school education and are taught the responsibility to give back and set an example for others. They are able to assimilate with others with ease and thus break through stigmas and prejudice, believing whole heartedly in encouraging inclusivity. This not only brings our scholars together, but our parents and employees too.
We are one team, working together for the greater good of our school, community and our scholars who, from the first day that they arrive at Penryn, are provided with the age-appropriate skillsets and knowledge that they need to thrive and become the game-changers of tomorrow.
OUR TEAM
Meet the men and women who put their hearts and souls into Penryn.
Individually, they are highly trained and compassionate professionals, who are focused on one goal –
to bring out the very best in each and every Penryn scholar.
