Being open to others, sharing values.
A significant number of families choose Ombrosa for the long term education of their children. Some pupils, however, opt to come to Ombrosa for a few months or a few years, even joining during the course of the school year. If pupils do make such a choice it means that they have to be actively involved in their integration into the school, just as is the case for visiting pen-friends.
