About First Steps

An Institution Built on Excellence

First Steps pairs a rigorous Cambridge and GCE academic foundation with the global outlook of a Round Square school. Students don't just prepare for examinations — they learn to lead, to serve, and to think beyond the classroom, growing into confident, principled young leaders ready for the world ahead.

A Word From the Principal

At First Steps, it is our mission to provide our students with an education that is centered not only on academic excellence, but also on the ability to thrive in all circumstances. We encourage our pupils to embrace the opportunities available to them, to move forward and forge bonds in the community and beyond.

We value excellence, but not excellence that is limited to academia. Excellence in character and conduct are also cornerstones of the ethos at First Steps. I am proud to head up this institute that has nurtured our young stars and given them the space to shine and grow as they explore their potential.
