What the school says

We want our students to be able to compete with the best, to become the best. We want them to overcome challenges, to give them the ambition to achieve anything they want. It’s not just about character building but providing opportunities to those who wouldn’t usually have access to them. Here at OSSMA, we provide a safe environment, both physically and psychologically. We educate students about risks and how to remain safe. We expect our students to be able to walk proud amongst their peers and not to be afraid to offer help or ask for assistance if needed.
