ABOUT RICHMOND SCHOOLS
At Richmond School, a proud member of Digital Culture Schools, we provide an exceptional educational journey through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP).
From the early years through pre-university education, our students experience a seamless journey of inquiry, academic excellence, personal growth, and international-mindedness. Through innovative, student-centred learning, we cultivate curiosity, creativity, resilience, and leadership, empowering every learner to become a confident, compassionate, and responsible global citizen prepared to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
Beyond academics, Richmond School nurtures intellectual, social, emotional, and personal growth. Working in partnership with families, we prepare students not only for future educational success but also for meaningful participation in an increasingly interconnected world.

Mr. Simon Lambert
Development Manager
I am a firm believer in lifelong learning – every day is a learning opportunity. From an early age, my motto has been “aim high” and I look forward to instilling this belief in all the young learners here at Richmond Schools. Excellence does not happen by chance; you must work hard to achieve it. As educators, we must model this behaviour both inside and outside of the classroom. I am looking forward to driving the school forward enabling all students to fulfil their potential.
