Leader in Me at Glendale International School

At Glendale International School, we believe that leadership is not reserved for a select few—it is a skill that can be nurtured in every child. Through the globally acclaimed Leader in Me programme, inspired by Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, we empower students to take ownership of their learning, behaviour, and personal growth.

Our Leader in Me framework equips students with essential life skills, leadership habits, and social-emotional tools needed to thrive in school and beyond.

What Is the Leader in Me programme?

The Leader in Me programme is a whole-school, research-driven approach that equips students with leadership principles, character development, and academic ownership. The programme integrates the 7 Habits into daily routines, classroom practices, and co-curricular experiences, ensuring that leadership is learnt, practised, and lived.

What are the 7 Habits under Leader in Me programme

At Glendale, the 7 Habits are woven seamlessly into everyday school life: 

Be Proactive: Students learn to take responsibility and make positive choices.

Begin With the End in Mind: Students are encouraged to set meaningful academic and personal goals.

Put First Things First: Time management, prioritisation, and discipline are reinforced.

Think Win-Win: We promote fairness, cooperation, and mutual respect.

Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: Active listening and clear communication become lifelong habits.

Synergise: Students learn that teamwork amplifies strengths and fosters creativity.

Sharpen the Saw: A healthy balance between academics, well-being, and personal growth is emphasised.
