Informed by values, students learn to use their intellect and skills productively and in service to others. The school has identified the following five core values as the ethical and moral guideposts that enable all of us in the Potomac community to develop good judgment and live principled lives:

COURAGE ~ INTEGRITY ~ HUMILITY ~ PERSEVERANCE ~ RESPECT

Basic Support Program

By sponsoring a child through SSGA Organisation you have the opportunity to change the life of a child in desperate need of alternative family care.

Your monthly gift will help these orphaned children by fully supporting them with schooling, food, medical care, clothing and scholastic materials, and beddings through our home based care program.

Every effort is made to help each child develop in every area of their life such as social, emotional, physical and spiritually. Many of these children are orphaned, out of school, are heading households, are living in absolute poverty, they are living on the streets, while at SSGA they are re-instated back in school, taught life skills and vocational skills to enable them realize their full potential. Together we can uplift the lives of these children. Are you an individual or organization with a heart to help? Join hands with us.
