Somerville School aims to be an institution of excellence where sound ethical values, character, wisdom, leadership, service and academic achievement are encouraged in a safe and nurturing environment.

The Mission of the school is to provide an environment that lays emphasis on intellectual and emotional growth in which every student discovers and realizes his/her full potential and highest academic standards are achieved; where emphasis is laid on integrity, ethics, moral courage, hard work, responsibility and self-discipline, where activities focus on developing visionary, articulate and confident individuals with sensitivity and concern for the less fortunate, the environment, diversity and communal harmony, human rights and democratic values; where students, teachers, parents and the administration work together as a nurturing community.
