The Meaning of Candor

The name and the logo of the school were chosen very carefully by the founders. The name ‘Candor’ is derived from the Latin word ‘candere’, which means ‘to shine’. It stands for openness, impartiality, frankness, honesty, integrity and purity. We believe in ‘candor’ and aim to infuse this quality into our students and into everything we stand for.

The Candor logo embodies the essence of who we are and why we exist.

   The three dots on inverted arches represent human forms with outstretched arms and symbolize the power of team endeavour
   The wings represent the potential for our dreams to soar into reality
   The flame symbolizes our combined energy towards realizing our aspirations
   The shield represents our will to preserve our values and environmental heritage in the face of change
   Burgundy, the colour of our logo, stands for vigour, elegance, richness, refinement, leadership and maturity
