Rundle College has a Rigorous approach to Academic Culture (as opposed to Supportive approach).
This information is not currently available.
The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."
Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.
At Rundle, our values are Together: Be Kind, Be Curious, Be Well. Curiosity in academics is certainly at the core of our programs; however, we believe character development and co-curricular experiences provide balanced developmental priorities for Rundle students.
Students are placed in a separate special education class.
