What isexcellence?

caring more than others think is wise

risking more than others think is safe

dreaming more than others think is practical

expecting more than others think is possible

excellence is about

African proverb HMIeleasachadhfoghlamnah-Alba Improving Scottish education

everyone thinks of changing the world,

but no one thinks of changing himself (Tolstoy)

the most powerful agent of growth and transformation is something much more basic than any technique - a change of heart (Welwood)

you must be the change you wish to see in the world (Gandhi)

excellence is about US
