Excelsior International School has established a Senior Leadership Team (SLT) comprised of senior school administrators. The main focus of the SLT is to advise on the development and review of policies and procedures on all academic and academic-support matters of the School. The objective is to ensure that assessment principles, processes, methods and practices are aligned with the desired learning outcomes and are in keeping with cutting-edge developments in the field of international education.

The SLT's vision is to develop a School in which faculty, parents and the school community all work together in an environment that nurtures academic growth and character building of the students, where all in the school community treat each other with great respect and a sense of family is developed.

The SLT strives to ensure that high academic growth is achieved by students at all grade levels and is modeled by the adult members of the community as life-long learners. Self-esteem, self-confidence and an ethical value system must be evident in the school community.

The SLT believes that teaching is truly the greatest profession and that there are tremendous opportunities for all associated with the School to make a positive difference towards the development of its students and therefore the School.
