SHERR

At Marymount School we understand values as convictions that are evident in daily behavior and reflect a lifestyle. We have established 5 fundamental values as the pillars to strengthen and improve socio-emotional education strategies, leadership and character formation in our institution.

SHERR is the acronym we use to represent them (Spirituality, Honesty, Excellence, Respect, Responsibility). It provides a common language and encourages appropriate responses in different situations and contributes to the consistent construction of autonomy and intrinsic values-based motivation.

An education based on SHERR values is part of our daily life as an institution and is evident in the programs, the classrooms and the day-to-day of our school.
