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.
