"DEO DUCE QUAERE OPTIMA"


Throughout the history of man,
mottos have served as inspirations and have been instrumental in assisting us to
achieve greatness. The founders of Ardenne, namely the Olsons, must have been
moved by the power and relevance of the school’s motto created by Dr. E. M.
Claire Gayle ‘Deo Duce Quaere Optima.’


The ‘Deo Duce’ at the beginning of the
motto shows us clearly the importance of God in our pursuits of excellence, as
he tempers our ambitions and instils humility in us. The motto therefore motivates
us to strive for the highest possible standards, personally and collectively in
accordance with God’s will.


The motto possesses a most important concept ‘The Best.’
This drives us towards the attainment and maintenance of excellence. It therefore
motivates us to strive for the highest possible standards, personally and
collectively, in accordance with God’s will.


Ardenne’s flag remains fluttering
proud atop its high mast of significance amidst the winds of time until our
mission on earth is accomplished. Until then -


‘WITH GOD AS GUIDE, SEEK THE BEST’
