Design & Symbolism
Colour Scheme
Red and White: Our badge incorporates a rich, vibrant red contrasted with pristine white, creating a visual representation of passion and purity. The red invokes our commitment to engagement and vitality within our learning environment, inspiring action and dynamism. White symbolizes clarity, precision, and integrity, reflecting our pursuit of truth and excellence.
The Chain
Encircling the entire emblem, the chain represents the strong and unbreakable link between the educational values we cherish and each member of our school community. It symbolizes unity, strength, and the interconnected nature of our shared educational journey.
Central Motifs
The Open Book: Central to our badge, the open book is the ultimate symbol of learning and knowledge. It is not just any book but an open one, inviting endless possibilities and continuous learning. This motif represents our commitment to fostering a lifelong love of learning in our students, encouraging them to open new pages and explore unknown chapters.
​
The Laurel Wreath: Surrounding the open book, the laurel wreath is derived from ancient traditions of crowning the victors and scholars with wreaths as a mark of honor. For us, it signifies the triumph of our students over their challenges and the academic excellence they achieve at our school.
​
The Graduation Cap: Above the book, the graduation cap marks the culmination of education and the commencement of a new journey. It represents both a conclusion and a beginning, symbolizing our dedication to preparing students not just for tests, but for life.
Stars
Three Stars: Positioned strategically, the three stars on our badge represent the Trinity in our name — Mind, Body, and Spirit. Each star shines as a guidepost for one aspect of our comprehensive approach to education, ensuring a well-rounded development that fosters strong intellect, healthy bodies, and a nourished spirit.
Text & Typography
"Cornerstone International School" and "Trinity Academy": Our school's name encircles the central motifs, proudly declaring our identity and serving as a constant reminder of our community’s foundation and focus.
