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.

Penryn prepares future-fit children for a dynamic, interconnected world by fostering universally relevant skills such as adaptability, critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. Emphasizing diversity, sustainability, and equity, Penryn’s Honour Code nurtures a strong sense of community and purpose, aiming to leave a meaningful legacy and build a better tomorrow.

At Penryn, we see boundless potential in every scholar. Through our focus on service, leadership, and environmental awareness, we inspire a sense of limitless possibility and purpose. Guided by the Round Square IDEALS, we aim to develop individuals who will make meaningful contributions to their local and global communities.

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.

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.
