Graded’s mission is “Inspire. Challenge. Succeed. Every Student. Every Heart. Every Mind.” We strive to empower students to reach their full potential and make a positive impact on the world, guided by the core values of Intellectual Curiosity, Perseverance, Integrity, Respect, and Kindness.

We are an inclusive and friendly school, with an emphasis on the community. We believe in partnership with the families, and provide a range of community events and information sessions. We are an IB Continuum School, offering three programmes of the International Baccalaureate. The school values of respect, integrity, commitment, belonging, and international-mindedness guide our mission and our vision for our school community.
Another defining characteristic of St. Nicholas School is our House system, a vibrant tradition that strengthens school spirit, inspires joyful and healthy competition, and nurtures a deep sense of belonging. Each year, students from Grade 2 onward travel to the Sao Paulo countryside together for a four-day experience of inter-House challenges and competitions, one of the most anticipated and cherished moments of the school year.
