The Mission and Vision of Wao High School

Wao High School aims to nurture individuals who are prepared to seek their own happiness while contributing positively to society through profound education and ethical values.

The vision of Wao High School is to make the concept of building a personal framework through philosophy a mainstream practice by helping students carve out their unique paths for the future.

Why Philosophy in Education?

In a diverse and ever-evolving world, providing absolute answers is rare. That is why developing a rich education paired with a flexible mindset is crucial for shaping the future society. Philosophy empowers students to continuously seek universally valid definitions of humanity’s endeavors through the lens of critical thinking. By encouraging students to reassess the world around them from a philosophical perspective, what they perceive becomes radically different. Issues within society can be approached from fresh viewpoints, fostering enlightenment and deeper understanding during their high school years.
